      Enhanced Multi-Disciplinary Teams Now in 59 of 62 NY Counties
      Elder Crime Resources
      The Elder Abuse E-MDT Initiative continues to expand, with the goal of having a team in every county. The county-based E-MDTs are being implemented through an E-MDT Regional Hub model, in which a host organization is responsible for E-MDT establishment, coordination, and implementation in each of the counties in its E-MDT region. There are 11 regions that have been established for this Initiative (see attached table). As of July 2022, there are 59 counties in eleven E-MDT Regional Hubs with operational E-MDTs funded through this Initiative. See attached for details.
