Healthy.

CCC advocates to:

• Ensure all children have access to comprehensive health care services, including by protecting and expanding Medicaid and CHIP for children and their families and ensuring compliance with state and federal mental health parity laws.
• Invest in high-quality, equitable health care before, during, and after pregnancy to help ensure positive health outcomes for parents and infants.
• Strengthen New York’s public health policies that protect children against environmental hazards like lead poisoning and ensure all children receive necessary vaccinations and preventive care.
• Ensure every infant and toddler with a developmental delay or disability has access to the Early Intervention services they need.
• Provide high-quality, culturally competent behavioral health services in schools, clinics, and communities so all children have timely access to the behavioral supports they need.
• Support policies that increase equitable access to healthy, affordable food and alleviate hunger among children and families in New York.
