"Mayor Zohran Mamdani went to Brooklyn on Thursday to announce the opening of two new clinics with NYC Health + Hospitals aimed at serving teenagers and young adults. The clinics, one at NYC Health + Hospital in Queens and one at Woodhull Hospital in Brooklyn, will be made possible through a $4 million investment from MetroPlusHealth, a New York insurance provider."
"We are speaking about the health of young New Yorkers who are often reluctant to seek care or who don't have the health resources specifically tailored to their needs, and we know that as New Yorkers transition into adulthood, their lives, their priorities, they change, Mamdani said at the Jan. 22 press conference, held at Woodhull Hospital."
"We want these clinics to feel like a space that young people can turn to when they're hurt, when they're isolated, when they're alone, when they feel as if their struggles are only their own when in fact we know that those are struggles that should concern all of us across this city, Mamdani said."
Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced two new youth-focused clinics at Woodhull Hospital in Brooklyn and an NYC Health + Hospital in Queens on Jan. 22, his 22nd day in office. MetroPlusHealth provided a $4 million investment to create the sites. The clinics, called Elevate You, will serve New Yorkers aged 16 to 25. Services will include clinical care, mental health care, reproductive care, social support services, and vocational support. The clinics intend to provide welcoming, tailored health resources for young people who are reluctant to seek care or who lack age-appropriate services.
