We celebrated many successes in 2022. Together with coalition partners we extended Medicaid postpartum coverage from 60 days to 12 months for new moms, secured an additional $20 million for the Purchase of Care (POC) Program to sustain continued childcare for the 12,000 low-income families currently enrolled in POC, and increased funding for tobacco prevention and cessation initiatives. Let’s keep the momentum going in 2023 – contact your legislators now.
Thank you for your continued support and advocacy. We will keep you updated in the months ahead. Please keep an eye out for opportunities for action – grassroots outreach by advocates like YOU will be critical to our success! Please remember to take action today!
