Today, legislators, community leaders, and faith leaders gathered at Pfizer's NYC headquarters to strengthen relationships, build solutions, and advance care for New York’s most vulnerable communities. The program featured powerful insights from NYS Senator Nathalia Fernandez, AnnMarie Foster of Phoenix House, and many dedicated partners. Guests also participated in a Narcan training, reinforcing our shared commitment to saving lives and addressing the overdose crisis. The work does not stop here! Together, we must turn these conversations into action and ensure every community has access to care, support, and hope. Thank you to NYS Senator Nathalia Fernandez, Ann-Marie Foster, Bishop H.
