NYC Care Collaborates with Guatemalan Consulate to Enhance Health Access
December 17, 2025 - 19:10
NYC Health + Hospitals’ NYC Care program has forged a new partnership with the Consulate General of Guatemala in New York to expand access to essential health services. This collaboration aims to provide vital health resources, including blood pressure screenings, to the local community.
The initiative will involve tabling events at the consulate, where residents can learn about available healthcare services and receive health screenings. This partnership underscores the commitment to improving health equity and ensuring that all New Yorkers, regardless of their immigration status, have access to necessary medical care.
By working closely with the Guatemalan consulate, NYC Care hopes to reach underserved populations and raise awareness about the importance of regular health check-ups. The program is designed to empower individuals to take charge of their health, fostering a healthier community overall. This collaboration is a significant step toward bridging the gap in healthcare access for immigrant populations in New York City.
