Is Progress Being Made in
Our State
A Report on the Legislative
Achievements of the 2015 State Assembly
State Senator and ranking
Dem. State Senate Housing Committee, Adriano Espaillat
It is sometimes easy to miss the real and
significant achievements of our legislators in Albany. The business of
government in a democracy is slow and tedious and not as fast paced and
dramatic and as our 24 hour news cycle finds attractive. Senator Espaillat will
outline the many achievements that the State of New York has made in the
last year on such diverse issues as rent stabilization, 421a property tax
relief, NYCHA maintenance funding, criminal justice reform for incarcerated
minors, imposition of legally required procedures at colleges and universities
to prosecute sexual assaults, among many other issues. It is important to look
back at the legislative year and take an honest assessment of what has been
achieved and what waits to be completed.
Preserving Community Health Care Systems in Manhattan
An Assessment on the Progress
Made by Presbyterian Hospital with Community Leaders
State Senator AdrianoEspaillat & City Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez
This year the PW Policy Forum will
explore the policies concerning the changing landscape presented to local
hospitals, clinics, and doctors in the provision of health care. The Affordable
Care Act has introduced many challenges and opportunities to extend the quality
and reach of health care services. Hospital consolidations and closures place
pressures on the remaining providers to pick up many new patients. Presbyterian
Hospital has been challenged by these local leaders to begin to address these
issues aggressively to preserve and improve local health care services.
