Schenectady Coalition for Healthcare Access

We are a Schenectady-based coalition addressing concerns about the merger of Ellis Hospital & St. Peters Health. We must preserve evidence-based care/services.

[Schenectady Coalition for Healthcare Access @SOS4Schenectady]

@UpperHudsonPP We are collecting survey responses from visitors to Schenectady's @EllisMedicine & Bellevue Women's Center in wake of their *current* merger with Saint Peter's Health/Trinity.
📢📢 Will you help spread the word?

Have existing agreements between Ellis Medicine and St. Peter's Health Partners already impacted access to services in the community?

A new online survey is attempting to find out. https://t.co/3qBqwt28eX

2023 is the first year in half a century that abortion is not legal in all 50 states. Now, abortion is completely inaccessible in 14. On the 50th anniversary of #RoeVWade, we are in a critical window as people are struggling to access safe and legal #abortion.

SCOTUS made history on Jan. 22, 1973 by granting the constitutional right to abortion, and the decision to take it away opened the floodgates for states nationwide to ban abortion — making abortion care illegal or extremely hard to get. To get involved: https://t.co/uZ3WGgOkKp

A new study in @ContraceptionJL shows how people who have to travel for abortion care experience emotional costs, alongside financial + logistical costs. These findings further document how restrictions + bans produce abortion stigma. https://t.co/6d7ZRCGTjs

Oh, hey there. Just filling out some surveys about the merger between Ellis Hospital and St. Peter's Trinity healthcare. When officials keep details of the merger private, go straight to the public, right?

Banning abortion has serious economic consequences.

The #TurnawayStudy shows that women who are denied abortions are less likely to have enough money to cover expenses like food, housing, and transportation even years later.

We are at the Schenectady Green Market. Come on down to get a $25 gift card for the market, if you have visited Ellis or Bellevue within the past year and fill out our survey!

@NPR #vasectomies are trending & making news. If @ellismedicine mandates that urologists sign their "Ethical Religious Directives," will they be prevented from performing this demanded service?

We call on @AndreaSCousins to publicly declare their opposition to Justice LaSalle’s nomination for Chief Judge. Hs decisions are anti-abortion, anti-union, and anti-due process. The Senate must demand a new nominee who will bring us #TheCourtNYDeserves
