Dear Colleagues,
As America begins the healing process, there is growing concern that our health care system is not prepared to meet the mental health needs of a nation traumatized by the events of September 11. I encourage you to contact your professional organizations to find out what efforts are being made to meet the needs of New Yorkers and others impacted by this crisis.
