Meet NADAP Supporter and Former Board Director, Dr. Vasavi Devireddy.

Dr. Devireddy shares her personal story and discusses her experience working on the frontlines during the COVID-19 pandemic, the increasing importance of the social determinants of health, and the challenges facing our healthcare system.

Like many New Yorkers, Dr. Devireddy and her family went uninsured for years. After her parents connected to a state health insurance program, Dr. Devireddy expressed that for, “the first time my parents could take care of my health in a very real way and it brought dignity back to my family and parents… And I think that’s what NADAP also brings to the table every day.”

Please donate to help NADAP bring dignity to families and provide life-saving healthcare and employment services to New Yorkers in need.
