On April 14th, 2017, U.S. Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer visited Glens Falls Hospital to launch a new effort to push Congress to promptly extend funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), which is set to expire later this year. Schumer said, without congressional action, more than 8,000 children in the Glens Falls Hospital Service Area, nearly 20,000 children in the Capital Region, and over 330,000 children in New York State would face losing affordable health care that working families in Capital Region, specifically those who are not eligible for Medicaid, rely on.
