NYCPS is devastated by the passage of H.R.1, which will have far-reaching consequences on mental health and substance use care and the entire healthcare system.

Although the bill has been signed, we are proud of all of our physician advocates who worked hard to educate the public on the imponce of and protect mental health care.

Through our disappointment, we hope you will join us in continuing the fight to protect mental health and substance use services.

The event was designed for trainees, early career physicians, and anyone with an interest gaining valuable insights and knowledge of current trends and challenges in the field.

We extend our thanks to our Committee leaders Sean Lynch, MD, Amy Swift, MD, Angelo Chaia, MD and Kathryn Stevens, MD for planning a successful event.

We also want to thank our amazing panelists Elie Aoun, MD, MRO, Pantea Farahmand, MD, Jeremy Kidd, MD, MPH, and Carol Weiss, MD.

Special thanks to for hosting us!
