📢 Attention! You can help protect critical care and services across !

Join with us and our partners at LeadingAge New York in urging the New York State Legislature to prioritize the needs of nursing homes in this year’s final Executive Budget!

We’re calling on our public officials to ensure that half of the $1.5 billion allocated towards nursing homes and hospitals goes directly to nursing homes like . This funding must also be made permanent. We also strongly support restoring the 10% Medicaid capital cut and the remaining 5% because capital funding is essential to maintaining safe and modern facilities, supporting infection control and ensuring providers can meet financing and debt obligations. Finally, our on-site and community-based special education programs at require salary equity for staff. Without fair pay, support for students with the most complex needs is at risk.

Your voice matters and is more critical than ever. If you are a New York resident, please sign this letter today to tell your legislators to take action!

Some very special (and very furry) visitors hopped into in White Plains recently! 🐾

Thanks to Two by Two Animal Haven, our students got to enjoy a traveling petting zoo experience featuring a baby kangaroo, hedgehog, guinea pig and even a squirrel. There were plenty of smiles, lots of curiosity and a few moments of pure wonder as students met and interacted with these amazing animals.

Hands-on moments like these create joyful learning experiences our students will always remember.
