Q&A

Jimenez and Long on resources and outreach

New York City Council · Oct 28, 2026 · starts 2:02:24 · 1 min 8 sec

Jimenez says H&H makes good use of its resources through e-consults and rolling scheduling and would welcome more funding. Long emphasizes that the program is only as effective as the number of people who know about it.

Dr. Jonathan Jimenez

Everything we do, right, takes resources, all at H&H, and we make good use of all of it.

Dr. Jonathan Jimenez

That's part of why we have all these comprehensive ways of accessing and designing our practice, right, e-consults, rolling scheduling to make sure we make good use of the resources.

Dr. Jonathan Jimenez

So we'd welcome more resources to take care of patients, absolutely, and do the outreach to make sure that people know about us.

Dr. Ted Long

Yeah, I mean, I think just to emphasize what Jonathan's saying, I know we've talked about it a lot here, but, I mean, the program is only going to be as good and effective as the number of people that know about it.

Dr. Ted Long

And, you know, there's going to be people that are going to be looking out there for information when all these changes start to happen.

Dr. Ted Long

So I think my number one for the support that we would love to have and the partnership we'd love to have is, again, really trying to think creatively, talked by influencers, I know, but how to best get the word out to everybody across New York City.

Dr. Ted Long

You know, again, I talk to colleagues in other jurisdictions.

Dr. Ted Long

They don't have any program like this to refer people to.

Dr. Ted Long

We do.

Dr. Ted Long

It's special.

Dr. Ted Long

It's unique to New York City, and let's use it.
