It is difficult to express how grateful I am for the outpouring of support from our community.
The grants and donations we have received come at a critical time.
Uncertainty and reductions in benefit programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will increase the demand for our services.
The defunding of Health Imperatives’ Medicaid payments as part of the Trump administration’s “Big Beautiful Bill” put our sexual and reproductive health programs - which were not fully funded to begin with - at risk.
The funding we have received will fill these gaps, and allow us to have more flexibility each time the federal government makes another policy change or budget cut. It is a relief to not have to worry as much.
At the same time, our Governor and Legislature are determined to improve and protect women’s health. As of this writing, there is a supplemental bill in the House and Senate that, if passed, will cover the shortfall in Medicaid payments so we can continue to bill Medicaid for the services we provide in our seven clinics.
I am thankful that they, and all of you, are on our team. Together, we will continue to weather the storm and provide vital care and support to 24,000 individuals and families across our region.
