Dear Friend,
At Adhikaar, our members share the challenges they face in securing healthcare. Because of language barriers, they struggle to make doctor’s appointments, express their health needs or ask questions, and enroll in a health insurance plan.
To address these issues, Adhikaar began advocating for Nepali language interpretation needs with NYC agencies. We also started offering in-language health insurance application support at our worker center. Today our members can request Nepali language interpreters when they go visit NYC Health+ Hospital and can easily enroll in health care plans at our center.
