MHANYS CEO Glenn Liebman and COO Melissa Ramirez presented Mental Health America’s 2026 Governor’s Leadership Award, honoring Governor Kathy Hochul, to New York State Office of Mental Health Commissioner Ann Sullivan, who accepted on the Governor’s behalf. The award recognized Governor Hochul for her outstanding leadership and commitment to mental health, as well as the significant investments to expand access to care.
“MHANYS is proud to stand alongside Mental Health America in honoring Governor Hochul for her extraordinary leadership and commitment to mental health that is leading the way not only for New York State but as a model for other states,” said MHANYS CEO Glenn Liebman. “Governor Hochul has overseen an extraordinary investment in community-based mental health services and the enactment of precedent-setting laws requiring insurers and health plans to provide timely appointments, restricting cell phones in schools, and new, stringent safety measures to protect youth online and from addictive social media platforms and AI chatbots.”
