Join FOCUS for a hybrid public forum where local health providers and community partners will explore the realities facing individuals and families without health coverage. The discussion will explore how being uninsured affects overall well-being and stability, shaping access to physical and mental health care, employment security, family stability, and vulnerability to addiction. Panelists will provide an overview of the magnitude of the issue and challenges/policies increasing the numbers of uninsured. The discussion will emphasize holistic approaches to connecting the uninsured with community services. After opening remarks from our panel, the conversation moves to a moderated Q&A, allowing attendees to ask questions and discover ways to engage with local priorities and initiatives. This forum offers a welcoming, respectful space for community members to learn, engage, and explore how to be actively involved in shaping the civic life of Central New York.
