Take Action!

Please sign our online petition to the New York City Mayor, Department and Mental Hygiene, and finally, the City Council. The petition has been created so that we can demand that “informed patient consent” (or at the very least, informed patient notice) be incorporated as part of the NYC A1C tracking plan by the NYC Dept. of Health and Mental Hygiene.

NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene Contacts

You can also direct any questions, comments, concerns or frustrations you may have about the mandatory A1C tracking plan to the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene officials managing this initiative. Do not hesitate to write, fax, e-mail and/or call them about this plan and do not permit them to intimidate you! Remember, these officials work for taxpaying New York City residents as public employees.
