Live from New York: It’s MetroPlusHealth! On your TV, on the subway and in every Borough.

Who says you can’t be in two places at once?

Early fall is a busy time of year for our team. From El Barrio to Coney Island, we had simultaneous celebrations all over the City this October. From premiering our 2023 #MetroModels to answering health questions from real New Yorkers on Channel 11, we did it all!

Town Hall PIX11 Collaboration

We recently had our first Health Care Town Hall on PIX11 . In this 30-minute special, our leaders and medical experts fielded questions from real New Yorkers about Medicare and healthy living in NYC.

In the piece below you’re bound to see some familiar faces, including Sanjiv S. Shah, MD, MPH, AAHIVS , Wendy Clarke Wilcox, MD, MPH, MBA , Dr. Douglas Unis, Roger Milliner , and Romelyn Dones . A huge thank you to the host Marysol Castro of Channel 11 for helping us bring this segment to life.

#MetroModels Sightings

In a recent Forbes feature, Ken Louie , our Deputy Chief Marketing and Brand Officer, discussed the collaborative process behind crafting our brand. Here, our workforce is instrumental in how we connect with our members.

This belief directly influenced our Fall Brand Campaign, which showcased our very own employees in the photography. These #MetroModels emphasize our New York roots. Keep an eye out for our ads featuring Harlan Gong and John Lim, PharmD . Their faces can be seen on thousands of subway cars across the City!

National Coming Out Day: Hear Our Stories

Every year, National Coming Out Day reminds the world why living authentically is so important. Elkin Cabas , Director of Experiential Marketing and Jayson Vazquez , CAHPS Manager, shared their coming out stories with our team. Each experience is truly powerful to hear. Thank you, Elkin and Jayson, for opening up.
