Happy Brains, Happy Days: 2024 CME Meeting with Healthfirst & Maimonides Medical Center

Peggy Sheng, Chief Operating Officer of CAIPA (Coalition of Asian-American Independent Practice Association) and Executive Director of CAIPA Foundation Inc., proudly joined New York State Governor Kathy Hochul’s 2025 State of the State address in Albany, New York.

New York State Governor Kathy Hochul, joined by Dr. George Liu, President and CEO of CAIPA and founder of the Asian Diabetic Center, held a press conference to announce significant healthcare reforms that have taken effect in 2025, including New York’s groundbreaking law banning insulin co-pays for state-regulated insurance plans and the introduction of a 20-hour paid prenatal leave policy.

紐約州長霍楚於21日晚間正式否決2024年版的《過失致死法案》（Wrongful Death Act）。在否決聲明中，霍楚稱這些改變是「出於善意的」，但表示這些改變將導致保險費等成本上升，進而對醫療系統產生負面影響。這些憂慮得到了全州商界和醫療領域領袖的認同。

The Coalition of Asian-American Independent Practice Associations (CAIPA) applauds Governor Kathy Hochul for her decisive leadership in vetoing the Wrongful Death Act. The Governor’s action demonstrates her commitment to protecting independent medical providers – particularly those serving Asian American communities.
