Governor Kathy Hochul New Yorkers are counting on you!

Thank you Times Union for publishing this important op-ed about how vital it is to add LCATs to the Medicaid Provider List via state budget! timesunion.com/opinion/articl… Governor Kathy Hochul Harry B. Bronson NYS Senator Samra Brouk

LCATs change lives. Their unique ability to reach those coping with extraordinary trauma can make all the difference in the world. It's time to add LCATs to the Medicaid Provider List in the budget. LCAT Advocacy Coalition Governor Kathy Hochul

Improving access to Licensed Creative Arts Therapists (LCATs) matters. Governor Kathy Hochul — pls include Harry B. Bronson & NYS Senator Samra Brouk’s proposal to add LCATs to the Medicaid Provider List in the budget! NYers are counting on you. Northern Rivers 1199SEIU💫 District Council 37 #UnionStrong

6+ month waitlists are typical for Medicaid-covered therapy — adding LCATs to the Medicaid Provider List will help! Governor Kathy Hochul Harry B. Bronson NYS Senator Samra Brouk Northern Rivers Bill Gettman 1199SEIU💫 District Council 37 #UnionStrong


In December Governor Kathy Hochul said adding LCATs to the Medicaid Provider List should happen via the budget — so now’s the time! Harry B. Bronson NYS Senator Samra Brouk 1199SEIU💫 District Council 37 #UnionStrong Northern Rivers timesunion.com/opinion/articl…


Improving access to LCATs — one of NY’s licensed mental health practitioners— starts with adding LCATs to the Medicaid Provider List via the final budget. Harry B. Bronson NYS Senator Samra Brouk Governor Kathy Hochul 1199SEIU💫 District Council 37 #UnionStrong Northern Rivers Bill Gettman


.Governor Kathy Hochul - NYers are counting on you to improve mental healthcare access! Pls make sure the NYS Senator Samra Brouk & Harry B. Bronson proposal to add LCATs to the Medicaid Provider List is part of the final budget! TY 1199SEIU💫 District Council 37 #UnionStrong Northern Rivers for the steadfast support!


.Governor Kathy Hochul — Adding LCATs to the Medicaid Provider List via the budget is NOT adding a new service, simply improving access to psychotherapy, an already covered service. Harry B. Bronson NYS Senator Samra Brouk 1199SEIU💫 District Council 37 #UnionStrong Northern Rivers

S1001 is on Finance Committee agenda for Wed 5/28 — we need it to move swiftly through & onto the Senate floor for a vote! This bill will add more psychotherapy providers & improve access - a win win! @1199seiu @dc37nyc Northern Rivers Harry B. Bronson NYS Senator Samra Brouk


Pass S1001 through the Senate Finance Committee and bring it to the Senate floor for a vote! A3319 passed the Assembly — almost unanimously— back in March. NYers need equal access to ALL psychotherapy providers licensed by NY, including LCATs. Harry B. Bronson NYS Senator Samra Brouk


Thank you to NYS Senator Samra Brouk our tireless bill sponsor!

Grateful for NYS Senator Samra Brouk’s leadership - S1001 has passed the Senate Finance Committee, now it’s onto the Senate floor!


Next stop is the Senate floor! Thank you to NYS Senator Samra Brouk & Harry B. Bronson for your tireless efforts to improve mental healthcare access for NYers!


Thank you to Senator Jose M. Serrano — the newest co-sponsor for S1001! And thank you to our other co-sponsors: Michelle Hinchey Senator Kevin Parker Gustavo Rivera James Skoufis Lea Webb & Senator Fernandez And of course a huge thank you to NYS Senator Samra Brouk our tireless bill sponsor!


S1001/A3319 is a simple way to guarantee that New Yorkers can use their commercial health insurance plans to work with ANY licensed mental health provider in the state - this will help reduce waitlists and improve access to care. TY to NYS Senator Samra Brouk Harry B. Bronson 👏🏼👏🏼
