About The Position

The Bureau of Maternal, Infant and Reproductive Health is seeking a Hub Regional Coordinator to conduct outreach and engagement activities to reproductive health care providers interested or included in the referral network for the New York Abortion Access Hub. The Coordinator will focus primarily on New York State regions and counties outside of New York City. This role involves understanding the sexual and reproductive health care access landscape, especially abortion care, in target regions as well identifying and reaching out to community-based organizations, educational institutions and other stakeholders to raise awareness about the Hub across New York State.

After the Supreme Court eliminated federal protections for abortion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the NYC Health Department launched a series of programs designed to protect and promote abortion access in New York City, including the Abortion Access Hub, which opened on November 1, 2022. The Hub is the first centralized, municipally funded navigation and referral helpline for people coming from anywhere seeking abortion information and care in New York City. We are expanding the Hub’s referral network to include abortion providers in the rest of New York State to create a statewide referral Hub.
