Summary
This study tested a year-long program called ActionHealthNYC that helped uninsured immigrants in New York City get easier access to healthcare. Over 2,400 participants received care coordination, preventive services, and lower costs for doctor visits. The goal was to see if the program reduced delays in getting care and improved use of health services compared to those not in the program.
