Health & Disability Access

If you do not have health insurance and need care, you can still access health services.

New York City's public hospital system and local community health centers provide medical care on a sliding-fee basis, depending on your income.

Every immigrant New Yorker has the right to get quality health care regardless of immigration status or ability to pay. Many City healthcare and social services are available to all New Yorkers, even if you are undocumented.

NYC Health + Hospitals
