Celebrating National Public Health Week

At no cost to Medicaid members, our Community Health Workers (CHWs) are dedicated to connecting members to programs. Following a screening, we assist eligible Medicaid members with a wide variety of social services, including nutrition, transportation for non-medical needs, housing support, home remediation for those with Asthma, and job & education connections. Our CHWs always follow up to ensure they’re getting proper care and reach out to service organizations on members’ behalf to address any questions or concerns. We also have bilingual team members and work with live translation services to ensure we can communicate with all our community members.

Our primary mission at God’s Love will always be nutrition. These additional supportive services provide New Yorkers with crucial public health resources to improve their daily lives. More importantly, these early interventions addressing social needs significantly improve long-term public health! We’re proud to celebrate National Public Health Week with a commitment to connect our community to the services they need for their health journey!
