Talking to New Yorkers About First 1,000 Days

Kate Breslin, Vice–Chair, First 1,000 Days on Medicaid

  • An important start – planting of a seed
  • Not brand new – integrated into existing efforts/initiatives
  • Cross–sectoral
  • Even though FY 2018–19 proposed investment is relatively small, important to talk about it, explain it, keep it in the budget
