CITY VIEWS: OPINIONS and ANALYSIS

Opinion: Overdose Prevention Centers Help Make Communities Safer

Julie Atwell | June 1, 2023

“We are in the midst of a worsening overdose crisis. Children don’t deserve the remnants of drug use in the playground, or to lose loved ones to overdose. People who struggle with drug use shouldn’t have to hide in dark places to avoid having their health issues confronted with shame and judgment.”

As NY’s Home Health Aides Get Pay Bump, Insurance Companies Leave Employers in the Lurch

Liz Donovan | September 30, 2022

A state-funded increase in wages for the frontline workers begins Saturday, but companies say insurance providers are withholding the money.

CITY VIEWS: OPINIONS and ANALYSIS

Opinion: ‘Just Home’ Project Planned for The Bronx Deserves Community Support

Roxanne Delgado | September 28, 2022

“Fear aside, will our city recognize health care as a human right? If these sick people can’t be placed in a hospital campus, then where else can they go?”

In Wake of Subway Attack, Sunset Park Grapples With What Public Safety Should Look Like

Mary Steffenhagen | April 21, 2022

Some in Sunset Park worry their experience of random violence will invoke a response more focused on carceral measures than addressing structural inequalities that shape public safety. “When I think about safety here, I think of how we need stimulus relief bills, unemployment and healthcare,” one local resident told City Limits. “Not police.”

CITY VIEWS: OPINIONS and ANALYSIS

Opinion: Coercion and Institutionalization Won’t Fix NY’s Mental Health Crisis

Harvey Rosenthal | March 30, 2022

“We must reject policies that single out, scapegoat, and sweep away the rights of our neighbors with mental illness.”

Opinion

Opinion: Stop Hoping for Normal and Start Fighting for a Health Revolution

Sarah Batchu | February 17, 2022

‘For the Black and Latinx communities in a constant struggle over their health, a return to normal is not good enough—they need a health revolution. Building this new vision of health will require privileged New Yorkers to support the same tactics the Young Lords successfully deployed over 50 years ago.’

New Law Will Require NY Hospitals to Assess Community Impact of Closures, Mergers

Jeanmarie Evelly | December 28, 2021

Gov. Kathy Hochul recently signed the Health Equity Assessment Act, which advocates say will help address the impact of decades of hospital closures and consolidations across the state, which left certain communities—primarily low-income and neighborhoods of color—underserved when it comes to health facilities.

CITY VIEWS: OPINIONS and ANALYSIS

Opinion: Medicare Advantage is a Disadvantage for New York’s Municipal Retirees

Toni Kamins | December 17, 2021

‘While Medicare Advantage plans are required to cover everything covered by original Medicare, they aren’t required to cover them in the same way or for the same price.’

Opinion: Addressing Mental Health Needs Will Help More NYers Get Back to Work

Eileen Torres | November 9, 2021

‘The trauma and isolation of the pandemic has taken its toll. In The Bronx, we experienced disproportionately high numbers of COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths. Until the mental health needs of our participants are addressed, it is difficult—if not impossible—for them to secure and retain employment.’

Opinion

Opinion: Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics Provide Essential Care to NY’s Underserved

Yaberci Perez-Cubillán | September 21, 2021

‘The continued expansion and funding of CCBHCs is not guaranteed, despite bipartisan support, and the pandemic will continue to fuel mental health and addiction crises.’
