Our voices matter—and so do the kids we’re fighting for. Today we stood up for better access, stronger care, and real investments in pediatric health. Proud to be part of #FAD2026 with @childrenshospitals and #TeamCHA.

During #FAD2026, we sat down with [tag member of congress] to share [insert child’s name]’s medical journey and the important role of #Medicaid in access to care. [child’s name] has medical complexities that require numerous specialists, therapies, appointments, and specialized care at [children’s hospital’s name]. Without Medicaid, we wouldn’t have access to the care [child’s name] needs to grow up and develop. We’re honored to give a voice to so many other families who rely on Medicaid. #TeamCHA
