Establishes NYCHA-based health centers on NYCHA campuses to provide basic health services, including specialty care and testing for lead poisoning.
The bill amends the public health law to create health centers on New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) campuses. These centers will provide basic health services, including primary care, preventative health services, and specialty care for lead poisoning and mold exposure. The Department of Health must establish these centers within 180 days of the bill's effective date, with at least one center in each borough based on need and health disparities. The department will allocate resources, including materials for screenings and diagnostic tests, and personnel to staff the centers.
