Studies show that children with health insurance are more likely to visit the doctor regularly than children who are not insured. That’s important because access to regular health care helps children stay healthy, and helps control chronic childhood diseases, such as asthma, which can adversely affect school attendance.” Hudson’s Bicycle Safety Rodeo was arranged in collaboration with Westhab, the Yonkers Family YMCA, Yonkers Police Precinct 3, and Councilman Wilson Terrero, the Majority Leader of the Yonkers City Council.
