How We Care For You NYC Health + Hospitals was the first U. S. public health care system to mandate LGBTQ training for all staff members in 2011. Watch videos on LGBTQ Healthcare Twenty-three of our facilities have earned the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's designation, "Leader in LGBTQ Healthcare Equality" in 2019. To earn this, facilities must train staff in LGBTQ health care, have LGBTQ-responsive policies, and make those policies available to the public and staff. To better serve the health care needs of the LGBTQ community, NYC Health + Hospitals has five Pride Health Centers in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Toss one of the turmeric power shots—which you can boost with CBD, chlorophyll, oregano oil, and other goodies—into your bag for later. We did. The Yinova Center 37 W. 17th St., Union Square goop goes way back with Jill Blakeway, the clinical herbalist behind Yinova: She taught us about harnessing energy in the body and other surprising therapies in this Q&A, and we go back over and over to Yinova, an acupuncture and Chinese medicine practice that has the inviting aura of a cozy living room and the sleek tranquility of an airy spa, whenever we're in NYC. For one, it's not every acupuncture practice in New York City (there's also a Brooklyn Heights location) that has a built-in Chinese medicine apothecary on-site: the plush chairs and couches in the waiting room face shelves full of potions, tinctures, and elegant jars of health-supporting Chinese herbal blends. For another, Blakeway, who specializes in reproductive health and was named one of the best acupuncturists is Manhattan by The New York Times, brilliantly blends Chinese medicine with modern biomedicine.
