Q&A

Long on a unified message and shared events

New York City Council · Oct 28, 2026 · starts 1:59:10 · 40 sec

Long says the most important thing is a single clear message that New Yorkers will be caught if they fall, and that H&H would welcome Council members at its events. Narcisse jokes about appearing in an H&H commercial.

Dr. Ted Long

You have 5,000 more followers than I do.

Dr. Ted Long

But I really think that this is that moment where if we could all be sharing the same message that health care in New York City is a human right, we have this special program, there's one number to call, and we'll join you at events.

Dr. Ted Long

We'd love to invite you to some of our events.

Dr. Ted Long

I think if I put myself from the point of view of my patients, having one clear message with the certainty that you're going to be caught if you fall, I think is the most important thing.

Mercedes Narcisse

I saw you.

Mercedes Narcisse

I see the commercial already.

Mercedes Narcisse

So at least people can trust you.

Mercedes Narcisse

You're the doctors.

Mercedes Narcisse

You're delivering the care and your passion to care.
