Save our Lives: Do Something

I am deeply concerned about the defunding of the Women's Health Initiatives. These programs are vital for providing essential services such as preventive care, maternal health support, and access to reproductive healthcare. Defunding them will lead to increased healthcare disparities, higher maternal mortality rates, and long-term economic consequences for families and communities. You are sending the message that studying health issues for women, especially older women, is not needed. I urge you to retain funding for this important program, supporting equitable healthcare access and safeguard the well-being of women across our state. Thank you for your attention to this critical issue.
