A Message from Elizabeth Swain: New Website and Newsletter Design
CHCANYS is proud to announce the launch of a new website design and a new look for the Your CHCANYS newsletter. The simple and clean new designs are part of our goal to meet the ongoing information needs of New York's FQHCs, as well as those interested in learning more about who we are and the communities we serve. The improved website and newsletter contain several new features: easily navigatable menus that focus on CHCANYS' programs and services, better organization of content, a readily accessible events calendar, and active news and publication notices. We are excited about these changes, and we hope you are too as you are now more easily able to access the information you need when you need it.
Happy New Year! May 2013 bring health and hope to you all.
Elizabeth H. Swain
President and CEO
