Health Gaps: What Syracuse’s Uninsured Are Facing

The March meeting in Syracuse will let people talk about how not having health insurance hurts everyday life. Community leaders and doctors will share what they see in clinics, hospitals, and the streets. They’ll focus on how missing coverage stops people from getting medical help, keeps jobs insecure, and can lead to family problems or addiction. The event is free and open to anyone who wants to learn or speak up. You can join in person or watch on Zoom, and you can sign up without paying a fee. If you have questions before the talk, send them in; the speakers will try to answer them during their presentation.Three experts will lead the discussion: Yolanda Cherbini from Liberty Resources talks about local community services. Kenneth Genewick of the Health Foundation shares data on why so many people stay uninsured. Alexandria Pisarczyk from Syracuse Community Health explains how clinics try to help families get the care they need. The meeting lasts one hour, and after the talk there will be a quick question‑and‑answer session. The goal is to look at the big picture and find practical ways for people in Central New York to get help.
