As local communities continue to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, understanding the population and resource availability becomes increasingly important. Accessibility and affordability of healthcare are crucial during these times, as the virus does not discriminate against whom it affects. While the pandemic has caused changes in everyone’s lives, individuals without health insurance, access to transportation, and access to mental health services are a part of the population that is being particularly negatively affected.
To focus on the specific challenges faced by a local community during this pandemic, this blog will focus on the Albany, New York area and its population (1).
Health Insurance
In the U.S., there are over 28 million uninsured individuals (2). It can be incredibly expensive to try and afford basic care without health insurance, and patients without health insurance are limited in the providers they can see and make appointments with. Uninsured people are therefore far less likely to get medical care, which means they are not receiving yearly checkups and don’t have access to preventative measures, such as cancer screenings or blood pressure tests. In many cases, medical care is only sought in emergencies.
While the uninsured rate in New York has decreased in recent years, there are few options for those that are uninsured in Albany. One of these options is Surya Immediate Medical Care– while not currently accepting any ill patients due to the pandemic, the center accepts patients without insurance and allows self-payments. A new visit costs $150, while an established visit costs $100. Charges for additional services like strep tests and x-rays are listed on their website. For dental health, Aspen Dental in Albany is a practice that provides free exams and x-rays on the first visit, without insurance.
Access to Transportation
Being able to make an appointment is one thing, but actually getting to the doctor’s office is another– access to transportation is something that can often prevent patients from receiving the healthcare they need. One of the COVID-19 testing sites in Albany is at SUNY Albany. However, to be tested, individuals need transportation to the testing site and must be in a vehicle when they are being tested. Some resources that provide transportation include UberHealth, Medanswering services for individuals with Medicaid, and CDTA transit for Albany county resident seniors over the age of 60.
More recently, some mobile testing sites have become available and are listed here, which can allow some individuals to have access to testing without needing transportation, depending on where they live.
Mental Health Services
Mental health is an equally large component and contributor to overall health and wellbeing as physical health. With the COVID-19 pandemic, many individuals are experiencing loneliness, anxiety, and other mental health issues as daily lifestyles have changed due to quarantine and social interaction is limited. To try and support individuals at home, some hotlines have become available 24/7 or throughout the week to provide help. A COVID-19 support line is available at (518) 269-6634, from 8 am to 8 pm every day. Additional hotlines and mental health resources in Albany are listed here.
While the Albany area has begun to respond to changes in healthcare availability and accessibility due to the pandemic, there are still some areas that can be improved upon, such as increased access to basic care and preventative services for people who are uninsured. Additionally, access to health insurance, transportation, and mental health services are only a few of the determinants of health and wellbeing– what do you think your local community can improve upon when it comes to the health of its population?

비아그라(실데나필)는 남성의 발기부전 치료에 사용되는 약물입니다. 의사의 감독 없이 정기적으로 비아그라를 복용하는 것은 권장되지 않으며 심각한 부작용을 일으킬 수 있다는 점에 유의해야 합니다.
의료 제공자의 지시에 따라 복용하는 경우 비아그라는 일반적으로 내약성이 우수하고 안전합니다. 비아그라를 복용하는 남성들이 보고하는 가장 흔한 부작용으로는 두통, 안면 홍조, 소화불량, 코막힘, 시력 변화(예: 시력에 푸른 색조가 나타나거나 파란색과 녹색을 구별하기 어려움)가 있습니다. 이러한 부작용은 보통 경미하거나 중등도이며 몇 시간 내에 사라집니다.
그러나 비아그라 자주 먹으면 의료 감독 없이 정기적으로 비아그라를 복용하면 심각한 건강 문제가 발생할 수 있습니다. 여기에는 다음이 포함될 수 있습니다.
지속발기증: 발기가 4시간 이상 지속되고 성적 자극과 관련이 없는 상태입니다. 지속발기증은 의학적 응급 상황이며 즉시 치료하지 않으면 음경에 영구적인 손상을 일으킬 수 있습니다.
심혈관 문제: 비아그라는 혈류에 영향을 줄 수 있으며 혈압이 갑자기 떨어질 수 있습니다. 이는 기존 심장 질환이 있는 사람이나 특정 약물을 복용하는 사람에게 위험할 수 있습니다. 심혈관 문제의 증상에는 흉통, 숨가쁨 또는 빠르거나 불규칙한 심장 박동이 포함될 수 있습니다.
청력 및 시력 문제: 드문 경우지만 비아그라는 갑작스런 청력 상실 또는 시력 상실을 유발할 수 있습니다. 비아그라를 복용하는 동안 갑작스러운 청력 또는 시력 문제가 발생하면 약물 복용을 중단하고 즉시 의사의 진료를 받아야 합니다.
알레르기 반응: 일부 사람들은 비아그라에 알레르기가 있을 수 있으며 두드러기, 호흡 곤란 또는 얼굴, 입술, 혀 또는 목의 붓기와 같은 증상을 경험할 수 있습니다. 이러한 증상이 나타나면 즉시 치료를 받아야 합니다.
의료 제공자의 지시에 따라 비아그라만 복용하고 권장 복용량을 초과하지 않는 것이 중요합니다. 의료 감독 없이 비아그라를 정기적으로 사용하는 것은 위험할 수 있으며 심각한 건강 문제를 일으킬 수 있습니다. 성 건강이나 복용 중인 약물에 대해 우려 사항이 있는 경우 의료 전문가와 상담하십시오.
