We’re proud to fight for culturally responsive health care 👏 Our partner @MyCielola is pushing #ChildrensHealthEquity forward by meeting the communication needs of our Indigenous communities so children can access well-child visits, care when their sick, and keep #MediCal!

@CAgovernor our families know the importance of #PostpartumCare. It sets the foundation for a child's lifetime health! ⭐️Please include 12mos of care in the #CABudget!⭐️ Infants & birthing parents on #MediCal deserve supportive social, mental & physical health services.

Did you recently give birth? @UCSF researchers want your input! Their Eng/Span survey about CA's Maternal Infant Health Assessment takes 20 min: ucsf.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/f… Follow up w 15-min call & get a $20 Target gift card - and help improve health outcomes for babies/parents!
We applaud the @EnergyCommerce proposal to fast track extension of postpartum #Medicaid coverage to 12 months, a priority our #obgynadvocates have long pursued. Congress should act with urgency to enact this critical policy- an important step in addressing #maternalmortality.
As schools close due to the coronavirus threat, we cannot forget the children who face hardship as a result. 22 million children rely on federally subsidized school meals. Today, I introduced a bill to ensure they continue to get the meals they need.💪🏽omar.house.gov/media/press-r…
