Q&A

Narcisse asks about the HART program; Long on DOHMH coordination

New York City Council · Oct 28, 2026 · starts 1:57:46 · 1 min

Narcisse asks about the HART program the mayor announced and whether H&H is involved. Long defers specifics to DOHMH but says H&H is coordinating on insurance enrollment and creating a path to clinical care at H&H.

Mercedes Narcisse

Something is in my head and I just get the note I need to ask you.

Mercedes Narcisse

Because I was thinking about it because you mentioned about the HART program that the mayor spoke about it.

Mercedes Narcisse

Right?

Mercedes Narcisse

Do you have any information on it?

Mercedes Narcisse

What's the specific of the program?

Mercedes Narcisse

Do you have anything on it?

Mercedes Narcisse

And is H&H involved in the process?

Mercedes Narcisse

Oh, you're involved in the process.

Dr. Ted Long

Of course, for any specifics, I'd have to defer.

Dr. Ted Long

To our colleagues at DOHMH.

Dr. Ted Long

But I will say that we've been in close touch with them about when we reach out to people, the insurance enrollment process, getting people into NYC care if they're not eligible for an insurance plan.

Dr. Ted Long

And importantly, whether the person is enrolled in NYC care or enrolled in an insurance plan, we're working with DOHMH to know we're creating a well-paved path to health and hospitals for actual clinical care.

Dr. Ted Long

So if you have Medicaid or NYC care, I want to see you in the Bronx either way.
