AllyHealth Telemedicine FREE benefit

Kim Bannister Mar2023


Kim Bannister, CSEA/VOICE Erie Chapter Member

“Yesterday I woke up with an infection I knew exactly what it was but panicked at first trying to figure out how to get to a doctor or urgent care to get an antibiotic. Then I remembered the telemedicine. I finished signing up (because I hadn’t done that yet) hit the button for an appointment and was told a doctor would contact me soon. In less then 10 mins I spoke with the doctor got the antibiotic sent to my pharmacy and was able to continue to care for the children. (Just FYI infection was nothing contagious to anyone) Thank you for making this so easy for providers to make their own health a priority!”

TAKE ACTION: Email letter campaign

Urge NYS Legislators to: Invest in the child care workforce

This past weekend you called on the leaders of the Senate and Assembly to make critical investments in the childcare workforce. We made our voices heard—it was a great success!

AdobeStock_437137037This week, we’re doubling down on our efforts and asking each of you to send a pre-written email to your state representatives. We need to show them that we have members in their districts who care about child care investments.

From this link: TAKE ACTION – SEND LETTER, you will be able to send a pre-formed email directly to your legislators urging them to invest in the childcare workforce.

 

We know from previous actions that when we TAKE ACTION TOGETHER, we can make a BIG impact toward NYS investment in our child care programs.
