Insider News Center: From Greenburgh Insider: GREENBURGH HEALTH CENTER HELPING UKRAINIAN REFUGEES.

 


The Greenburgh Neighborhood Health Center always helps those with health care needs. Grateful that they are helping Ukrainian refugees. They always help immigrants and residents who need fantastic health care services.

GREENBURGH NEIGHBORHOOD HEALTH CENTER IS HELPING UKRAINIAN REFUGEES OBTAIN HEALTH CARE COVERAGE AND SERVICES.


Last week a Ukrainian refugee, living with a family member in Dobbs Ferry, contacted me. Her baby had dental problems and needed help. She was very nervous. Did not know what to do.  


I contacted the Greenburgh Neighborhood Health Center and was not surprised. I got an immediate response--they would help. In less than 24 hours an appointment was scheduled, the Ukrainian refugee was enrolled in an insurance plan and the mother and baby got registered at the Greenburgh Neighborhood Health Center as new patients.  The mom and child are now fully covered for health insurance, medical, dental and vision.


HELPFUL PHONE NUMBERS FOR IMMIGRANTS

 

One  can apply through State, by calling 1-855-355-5777 under refugee  status  for coverage.

 

Non citizens can also get help by connecting to the NYS marketplace

 

One can connect with an application counselor who can assist with filling out for health insurance and with the identity proofing (since they aren’t citizens.)

 

They can call 914-968-4717 or visit nystateofhealth.ny.gov – go to “navigators” on the homepage and put in zip code to find navigators in your area who can assist.
