Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday announced the city will start offering abortion pills at four Department of Health (DOHMH) clinics across four of the five boroughs by year’s end, in addition to the 11 city Health + Hospitals (H+H) locations where the medication is already available.

The announcement was one concrete action in a broader address Adams delivered from City Hall Tuesday morning on his “‘New York City Women’s Health Agenda,” a commitment to make bridging disparities in women’s health care a top priority for his second year in office.
