March is Women's History Month

Very soon, there will be changes for some of our most vulnerable individuals and families who are on Medicaid. Starting on April 1, the COVID-19 public health emergency protection will be coming to an end. Medicaid enrollees who were continuously covered will again have to provide proof of eligibility to continue getting benefits.

I had the great opportunity to be Keynote speaker this week at the Department of Veterans Affairs Black History Month Event.

Last week, I was joined by my colleagues - Representatives Conley and Bumgardner - to share our legislative update with the community.

I hope you'll join myself and my colleagues, Reps. Conley and Bumgardner, on Thursday, February 16 from 5:30PM-7PM at the New London Public Library for a legislative update!

The month of February is dedicated to American Heart Month, a month long awareness campaign in support of over 120 million Americans currently living with a cardiovascular condition, and to educate ourselves on ways we can prevent and reduce the risk of heart disease.

Official recognition of Black History Month started with a proclamation from President Gerald Ford 47 years ago, to honor the many accomplishments and contributions Black Americans have made to American society. It's a time to rejoice, reflect, and remember. Black history is American history.

Extreme cold weather is expected in the coming days across the state. It is important to be mindful that with it brings increased risks to ourselves and our communities.
