Domestic violence affects individuals and families across every community and too often, those experiencing abuse feel they have nowhere to turn.

As we recognize Wear Purple Day during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I want survivors to know that you are not alone, your voice matters and help is available.

We must continue to listen without judgment, support those who come forward and make sure our neighbors know where to find help. Ending domestic violence requires more than raising awareness. It takes compassion, action and a commitment to protecting one another every day.

If you or someone you know needs support, confidential help is available 24/7:

* National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) | Text START to 88788

A major investment in the health and well-being of Southeast Queens!

The opening of Jamaica Hospital Medical Center’s new $150 million Emergency Department marks an important step toward expanding access to quality healthcare for families throughout Southeast Queens and the Rockaways.

With increased capacity, modernized facilities and expanded emergency services, this investment will help ensure that more New Yorkers can receive the timely, lifesaving care they need close to home.
