Child Health
The Children’s Defense Fund – New York (CDF-NY) is grateful to the New York State Assembly Health Committee and the Assembly Task Force on Women’s Issues for the opportunity to submit testimony for this Public Hearing on Improving Maternal and Newborn Health: Access to and Quality of Perinatal Care.
Child Health
For far too long, our State has employed the morally bankrupt practice of using vulnerable children as canaries in a coal mine – testing strips to detect the presence of lead after their health has already been permanently damaged.
Child Poverty
We are the ones we are waiting for to create another New York where our marginalized children are free to be children and have a real opportunity to meet their full potential.
