EmblemHealth and AdvantageCare Physicians announced today their participation in NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio’s “Hometown Heroes” ticker-tape parade, scheduled for Wednesday, July 7, 2021.
This celebration of essential workers who supported New Yorkers throughout the COVID-19 pandemic will take place at 11:00 am on Wednesday, July 7, 2021.
Seven EmblemHealth and AdvantageCare Physicians (ACPNY) employees will be featured in the parade representing the thousands of team members who tirelessly served members, patients, and the community throughout the pandemic.
“The pandemic has touched the lives of every New Yorker, and our family of companies’ essential workers has been key partners in the city and state’s comprehensive response,” said Karen Ignagni, CEO, and President of EmblemHealth. “Our team has been honored to work hand in hand with city leaders to provide vaccines, testing, and clinical support to our members, patients, and communities, when and where they needed us.”
“From the onset of COVID-19, AdvantageCare Physicians has played an integral role by teaming with the City and State to provide testing, vaccinations, and treatment to those hardest hit by the pandemic,” said Dr. Navarra Rodriguez, President, and Chief Medical Officer at ACPNY. “The well-being of some of the most vulnerable of New Yorkers was protected and preserved because of ACPNY’s health care heroes, and we are honored to partner with the mayor to celebrate them in this parade.
The parade’s route will begin at Manhattan’s Battery Park, travel along the Canyon of Heroes, and end with a special ceremony in City Hall Park.
