Dearest Advocates:
The time has come for EVERYONE to get involved.......
We are planning a Children's Healthcare Rally at the State Capitol on Saturday, November 4th at 9:30am. More information will be following but I wanted to make sure you SAVE THAT DATE!
We all need to speak up and have our voices heard for our children and the providers that service them. This is an election year and we need to make sure the State understands OUR priorities must include healthcare for our children.
The Children's Healthcare Rally will involve some of the following issues:
1. Eligibility Issues for disability waivers (including the Katie Beckett Waiver).
2. Access to a viable provider network (including therapy!)
3. CMO concerns.
4. BCW Concerns.
5. Overall, administrative paperwork problems in the system!
As you can see, we will be advocating for all children with and without disabilities that require healthcare from the State.
The issue is...... all children need healthcare (which includes having service providers to perform those services!).
If you are interesting in getting involved, donating time, or money in helping make this be the most effective rally to get the lawmakers attention....please send me a BRIEF e-mail stating the following:
1. What you think you do to help the cause?
2. Contact information including: name, phone numbers, e-mail address.
3. Where you live?
4. Are you a parent, provider, friend, concerned citizen, etc?
A rally committee is being put together to help make this a successful event. Thanks in advance for wanting to participate!
Let's show our strength in numbers....OUR VOTE COUNTS!
UNITED... WE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Hope to see you there! More detailed information will be following shortly.
Sincerely,
Heidi
