EmblemHealth, one of the nation’s largest nonprofit health insurers, launched its Community Diabetes Wellness Program at its Neighborhood Care Fordham Road location in the Bronx with a free resource fair. The event featured a sampling of community services offered by EmblemHealth and other community-based organizations. The Community Diabetes Wellness Program provides a comprehensive approach to help keep people with prediabetes from progressing into diabetes and help those with diabetes to manage their chronic condition.
“Today we are launching our Community Diabetes Wellness Program in the Bronx, an area where the need is high and the opportunity to make a difference is great,” stated Karen Ignagni, CEO of EmblemHealth. “We are thrilled to partner with the HealthyNYC initiative to bring resources necessary to help stop this silent killer.”
“Diabetes is an epidemic in New York that disproportionately impacts Bronx communities,” said New York State Senator Gustavo Rivera. “I commend EmblemHealth for launching their Community Diabetes Wellness Program, a necessary investment towards the essential health care resources needed to prevent and manage diabetes that our community deserves.”
New York City Council Member Oswald Feliz said, “I applaud EmblemHealth for launching their Community Diabetes Wellness Program in the Bronx. This program will provide comprehensive prediabetes and diabetes management and education to our community members, including those who have been historically underserved and lack access to the resources they need to get and stay healthy.”
Attendees at the resource fair received free A1C screenings…

Op-Eds
New Yorkers deserve safe, warm, and comfortable living conditions during fall and winter, and the city is here to make sure they get it.
Last week, heat season started in New York City. While cold and winter weather can bring dangerously low temperatures, heavy snow, strong winds, ice, sleet, and freezing rain, landlords and property owners across the city are required to maintain heating and safe indoor temperatures for their tenants between October 1st and May 31st.
That’s why we are hitting the ground running this season, making our city work better for everyday, working-class people. The city’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development has mobilized across the five boroughs to remind tenants and owners about their responsibilities to keep New Yorkers warm and safe.
When outdoor temperatures drop below 55 degrees, indoor temperatures must be maintained at a minimum of 68 degrees during the day between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. And indoor temperature must be maintained to at least 62 degrees overnight, regardless of the temperature.
These heat regulations are designed to protect New Yorkers health and safety. Heat is not a luxury, it is a necessity that all New Yorkers deserve. New Yorkers without access to heating are unprotected and at risk during the heat season. People can get sick, injured, and possibly even die from cold temperatures and winter storms.
Every day, New Yorkers work hard to build a better future for themselves, their kids, and their families. But we all know we cannot have a truly livable city with a housing and affordability crisis continuing to linger. New Yorkers need our support, and we are giving it to them by ensuring they have heat during the fall and winter.
And we have been very clear, when landlords and property owners violate our heating regulations, the city and the Housing Preservation and Development team will hold them accountable. Last year, the city responded in record time to 144,000 heat and hot water related problems and…

Speculation has spurred up about Donald Trump’s youngest son Barron Trump having four crypto wallets. These speculations began as rumors but ultimately led to a more careful analysis of the potential implications of the Trump family.
Primarily, the public has raised concerns about the role of digital currencies in American societies as well as the element of financial transparency among families with generational wealth. Let us explore how this affects public opinion and the current state of cryptocurrencies in the context of wealthy and influential individuals.
Understanding Cryptocurrency
Understanding the broader cryptocurrency industry is crucial for understanding the implications of Barron Trump’s possession of multiple wallets. To that end, digital currencies use a decentralized distribution mechanism powered by blockchain technology.
As a result, crypto wallets are typically anonymous allowing any individual owning a crypto wallet to buy, sell, trade, or swap various forms of cryptocurrencies on exchanges. Crypto wallets help with storing digital assets securely when securing digital assets for crypto investors of all sizes including investors with smaller crypto holdings.
The perfect crypto wallet should cater to all types of investors with various use cases including the ability to execute cross-border transactions securely. They should also cater to thousands of cryptocurrencies and all major blockchains, whether the holder is storing well-known options like Bitcoin and Ether or newly launched coins like the one of the crypto to 1000x next. In fact, a growing number of investors are choosing such coins as the whole market is stronger than ever thanks to Bitcoin’s new record-high value earlier this year, making it the perfect time to choose new coins.
Due to this, crypto has caught the eye of regulators…
