More than 200,000 Wake County residents rely on Medicaid for healthcare and nearly a third of them are children. Yet the continuation of this critical, often life-saving, care is at risk because of changes in Medicaid eligibility that have gone into effect. These changes put the most vulnerable in our community at risk of losing coverage at a time when the cost of daily living is on the rise and hourly wages remain stagnant. Loss of access to basic and preventative care leads to worsened health outcomes and destabilizes families who are already struggling. Choosing between treating pressing health concerns or keeping a roof over the heads of their children, is never a choice parents should have to make.
Families Together team members are trained and keeping abreast of the complex changes to Medicaid. We provide vital healthcare navigation support to help families who are eligible retain their Medicaid coverage. Access to affordable healthcare makes a tremendous difference when a family is experiencing housing insecurity (check out our 2nd What Comes Next? video to hear how) and partnering with families to make sure they're connected to the healthcare services they need is more important than ever.
Will you make a gift today to support the wrap-around services, healthcare navigation and other vital supports we provide to help create a foundation of stability for local children and their families as they work towards brighter futures?
