MetroPlus partners with NYC Health + Hospitals to provide primary and preventive care, emphasizing excellent services to our members. Our team is fully engaged, highly motivated, and care about our fellow New Yorkers. For more information about MetroPlus Health Plan, read our Overview.

MetroPlus Health Plan Overview

Since 1985, MetroPlus Health Plan, Inc., a prepaid health services plan, has been offering low or no-cost quality health insurance to eligible New Yorkers. We provide government sponsored health insurance to people living in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island through Medicaid Managed Care, Child Health Plus and Medicaid HIV Special Needs Plan (SNP). MetroPlus also offers Medicare plans for people who are eligible for Medicare and receive full or partial Medicaid benefits, and for people with HIV/AIDS eligible for Medicare with or without Medicaid. Our MetroPlus Gold plan covers all New York City employees, including NYC Health + Hospitals employees, non-Medicare eligible retirees, their spouses or qualified domestic partners, and eligible dependents.
MetroPlus Health Plan also offers NY State of Health Marketplace plans, a broad range of affordable health insurance products to more New Yorkers than ever before.
At MetroPlus, we have a strong focus on primary and preventive care. Together with our providers, we continually work to improve member awareness of preventive services and assist members in receiving these services. Our network includes primary care providers, specialists, behavioral health and OB/GYN providers at over 30,000 sites across New York City. In addition to hospital-based providers, our members can also obtain primary and specialty care services at many community-based doctor’s offices and neighborhood family care sites.
Our Care Management Programs help members with chronic conditions stay healthy and provide support to help them manage their illness. Diabetes and Asthma programs encourage members to partner with their PCPs to reduce complications from illnesses and lead healthier lives. Care Management is also available for members with SSI, Behavioral Health, Complex Medical or Transplant issues.
MetroPlus Member Services is available in 13 languages, Monday through Saturday, 8 am – 8 pm. MetroPlus also has access to numerous other languages through interpretation services. At MetroPlus, we are committed to assuring access to quality comprehensive health care, health education and customer services to our culturally diverse membership.

We welcome Hair Free Girl to the upcoming Street Festival on 7/14/2018

ABOUT HAIR FREE GIRL

Hair Free Girl. It’s more than a t-shirt…
Hair Free Girl is a brand that was created to inspire, encourage and empower women (and men) to embrace and celebrate their hair. Currently, Hair Free Girl offers shirts for women, men and girls, as well as tote bags and earrings
Who is Hair Free Girl?
Hair Free Girl is every woman or girl who is confident, comfortable and proud of the way they wear their hair, in its natural form. There are many ideas of good hair vs. bad hair, kinky vs. straight hair or chemically vs. non-chemically treated hair, etc. Today there are many more positive images of natural hair for women to admire such as popular figures, and even natural hair Barbie’s and other dolls. Hair Free Girl aims to be a part of the community that continues to promote a positive image with regard to embracing natural beauty and hair.
Although there are many women who accept and embrace their hair, there are still many other women and girls who struggle with being free with their hair and wearing it as they please, in any setting, regardless of what people may think or say.
Hair Free Girl is simply a tribute to all women and girls who are and want to be a Hair Free Girl. The Hair Free Girl is one who is unconfined, unrestricted, unconcerned and unbothered by everyone else’s opinion when it comes to their hair.
The Hair Free Girl Story

I was inspired to create the Hair Free Girl shirt, to display an image that would represent women and young girls who want to or, already are embracing their natural hair, that would make them feel represented, confident, beautiful, and unconcerned with what others may think. I hope that when women and girls see this image, they can personally connect and see a part of themselves: a proud, confident, Hair Free Girl that is comfortable with their self-expression through hair and not concerned with the comments and often negative opinions of others.
Who says “your” hair has to be straight, tamed and unkinked?
Fitting into the mold of what others think should be.
Wear your hair, as you please.
Proud.
and Free.
#HairFreeGirl

It’s more than a t-shirt. It’s a Movement.

we welcome My Little Magic Shop to the street Festival this year!

About My Little Magic Shop
Dear Reader,
Magic exists everywhere.   In that feeling of familiarity when you first met your best friend.  That time your mom called only seconds after you thought her name. The butterflies from your lover’s first kiss.
Funny enough it’s so easy to dismiss these feelings or serendipitous moments as soon as they happen.  We live in a world, where if there isn’t a scientific explanation for that sparkle, it is simply labelled as magic and discarded.  
Here at My Little Magic Shop, we believe that magic is simply anything we (as a society) don’t yet understand.
Just because we don’t understand something, don’t mean it doesn’t exist.  This magic in life is a huge part of what makes humans special and we are so lucky to be able to experience it.

At My Little Magic Shop, we not only want to help you embrace this magic, we want to help you become more aware of how much the Universe wants to continuously bring you all the things your heart desires.  We are so delighted to embark on a journey towards bringing more light and magic to this world.  
This is why we founded My Little Magic Shop; to serve as a place anyone can go to discover new self care products, magnify their inner magic and remember the world is a magical place.  We strive to bring you products that do just that.
Our Little Spell Kits series, is an empowerment kit that helps you uncover your deepest desires and then push those desires out into the Universe so that you can manifest them into your life.  If you don’t tell the Universe exactly what it is you want, how will it know what to bring you, right?  One Little Wishlets are Brazilian inspired wishing bracelets, that allow you to make a wish, and wear that wish proudly.  Reminding yourself every time you look at it, that your desires are being orchestrated at that very moment.  A Little Zen Box is a monthly, self improvement, self care and inspiration box.  We focus on a different theme each month to help you incorporate that theme more deeply into your daily life.
 

Call (646) 649-4360
@MyLittleMagicShop
info@mylittlemagicshop.com
http://mylittlemagicshop.com

In time, we plan to grow our little shop, offering a wide range of magical and self-empowerment related items, organizing various themed events, and serving as a true resource center. This is just the beginning, and we fully intend to expand our friendly community and help as many people as possible step into their magic and share their light!
Lots of Light & Magic

The Founders

My Little Magic Shop was created by Shereen Campbell (the founder, CEO, and a seasoned astrologer) and Natalie Villanueva (the Web Guru, CTO, creative and technology wizard) who are both passionate about making metaphysical, esoteric ideas and spiritual practices understandable and easily applicable.  
Outside of Astrology, Shereen has done Buying, Planning and Merchandising for major fashion brands for almost 10 years. She also writes on all things magical over at horocope.com.  A candle ritual and an epiphany later, she decided to create a place where folks (hippie fashionistas?) like her could find more hands on guidance for self improvement and self care.  Natalie was excited to jump on board and share her branding and design skills after discovering Astrology actually works. It only takes a seed…
For further information, please don’t hesitate to take a look around the website, or contact us with your inquiry. Please join our community, and feel free shop our products – we promise you that you’ll come back for more!

A native of Brooklyn, NY with roots in Barbados, An educator (MS. &  Ed.S ) with a love for the outdoors, nature and natural/pure healthy foods and products, especially in the products that we feed our body both internally and externally.  Handcrafting soap, creams and other products is not just a hobby or past time, but one of the most important endeavors that I have undertaken.  The purpose of making handcrafted soaps initially was to create beautiful fragrant and chemical-free products, but soon I found it much more important that others understood why and how using them is so important to their overall health over an extended period of time.  My products are made in small batches to insure the quality is  always consistent.  Hot process soaps can be created in a 24-48 hour time frame  Cold process soaps made upon request require a longer curing time and usually ship within 3-4 weeks to insure freshness.

About CIDNY: 

CIDNY’s Action Network (CAN) is made up of people with disabilities who come to CIDNY for individual services, as well as others who care about justice and equality for people with disabilities. We have monthly meetings where we learn about disability issues, practice advocacy skills, and plan activities to create change. CAN volunteers testify at public hearings, attend housing rallies, and meet with state legislators. Find out more about what it means to be part of CAN. If you subscribe to our email list, you will get Action Alerts about urgent disability issues. You’ll be given a sample email to send or talking points for a phone call to your legislators or other policy makers, and with one click, your message will go to the right email addresses. You can also find major federal laws CIDNY supports, tips on how to be an effective advocate, contact information for letters to the editor, the status of any state bill, and much more.
The Long Term Care Ombudsman Program (or LTCOP) is a federal advocacy program dedicated to protecting people living in long term care facilities. In New York State, the Office for the Aging operates LTCOP through its Office of the State Long Term Care Ombudsman https://ltcombudsman.ny.gov/Volunteers/Volunteers.cfm.
The heart of the Long Term Care Ombudsman Program is its corps of specially trained and certified citizen-volunteer ombudsmen. Many volunteers are professionals from various fields. These dedicated Ombudsmen spend an average of four hours a week in each of their assigned facilities, advocating for the residents.
The New York State Long Term Care Ombudsman has chosen CIDNY-Center for Independence of the Disabled, NY http://www.cidny.org/ to manage the program for New York City. CIDNY was chosen because it had over 35 years of success advocating for people with disabilities.

What is CIDNY’s Consumer Action Network (CAN)?
CIDNY’s Action Network is made up of people with disabilities, as well as others who care about justice and equality for people with disabilities. Each of us brings our experience, our strengths and our energy to monthly meetings where we plan activities, learn about disability issues, and practice advocacy skills. Throughout the year, we take action steps to create change, such as:

  • Attending public events to find out whether they are accessible.
  • Sending email messages and letters to lawmakers asking them to vote for or against bills that matter to people with disabilities.
  • Meeting with state and city government officials to explain how their decisions affect our lives.
  • Testifying at public speak-outs about health insurance and special education.
  • Together we can change how the government, businesses, and others in our community treat people with disabilities.

For more information about CAN or to get on our mailing and phone lists, please contact Monica Bartley, Community Outreach Organizer, 646-442-4153 or mbartley@cidny.org, or join online.
