HHC hospitals and health centers will launch the annual Take Care New York campaign this October to encourage New Yorkers to get regular screening tests and stay healthy. Flu vaccinations and screening tests for asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol, HIV, depression and cancer are available at HHC facilities all year long and in every borough at little or no cost. The public will also be invited to participate in a number of education and screening events throughout the month. To find the hospital or health center near you, go to the HHC website, nyc.gov/hhc.
