ACTION ALERT
Governor’s Proposed State Budget Jeopardizes StateWide’s Patients’ Rights Helpline. Please make 2 phone calls today!

The Governor’s budget only funds our Patients’ Rights Helpline at $31,500.  Last year’s final budget provided $231,500!  That’s a $200,000 cut in our program that provides monthly “Teach-Ins” on emerging health consumer issues and provides one on one counseling and coaching to ensure that any health care consumer (or their families & friends) have the tools needed to uphold their rights in all health care settings.  We get more calls every year, cases are more complex than ever, and we are reaching more NYers throughout the state with important information.  We need more funds to meet the needs, not less!

Please make 2 phone calls today!
CALL:  518-455-4100 – ask for your Assemblymember
CALL:  518-455-2800 – ask for your Senator

Message:  
My name is _____ & I live in the district. Please stop the cut to NY StateWide Senior Action Council’s Patient Rights Helpline by restoring $200,000 to the NYS Office for the Aging budget and adding an additional $500,000 to address inflationary costs and unmet need.
