Dearest Advocates:
 
I just wanted to let you know that our advocacy efforts are continuing to paying off....
 
NBC WALB from Albany aired on September 15th  a segment regarding the therapy changes in prior approvals and other healthcare issues that will impact our children's access to healtcare in this State!  Here is the actual news segment and you can even view the video at the following address:
 
 
Please take a moment and thank the reporter, Alicia Eakin   aeakin@walb.com for taking interest in the story and also send an email to  news@walb.com?subject=Medicaid/AE .
 
It takes a lot of energy and time in order to have these segments aired.  I also want to thank Stephanie H. for being willing to go on camera and state what a lot of parents are experiencing and continue to educate the community on the issues our providers are experiencing with Medicaid right now as well! Thanks to Missy for letting me know about the coverage as well!
 
Only through building awareness of the situation (and in this case: working with the media), are we going to impact change in the State of Georgia! 
 
I hope you can see that we are continuing to get attention on this matter!  This is exactly why having a Healthcare for Kids Rally on November 4th 9:30am at the GA State Capitol is so important (before the election on November 7th).  It's going to be a major event! More information will be sent out soon including the flyer for the event. 
 
Thanks in advance for writing your thank you's.  If you see media attention in your area, please let me know so we can make sure everyone knows what's going on throughout the State and be able to express our thanks as well.....
 
Keep up the great work.  UNITED... WE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
 
Heidi
