LifeLong Medical Care was proud to participate in the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) Policy & Issues Forum in Washington, D.C.
LifeLong CEO John Jenkins, Head of Strategy & Value Yui Nishiike, and Head of Communications & Engagement Allie Jones joined Community Health Center leaders from across the country to advocate for stronger, more accessible care.
Our team met with Senators and Congressmembers on Capitol Hill to ensure LifeLong’s communities and priorities were heard at the federal level.
Advocacy with our partners underscores the powerful collective impact of Community Health Centers nationwide, sharing with federal representatives with one voice that health care is a right and not a privilege. When people get the care they need when they need it, it not only improves health and saves lives but is also much more cost effective.
Together, community health centers save Medicaid $58 billion by reducing avoidable ER visits, hospitalizations, and specialty care, and support 800,000+ jobs while generating over $26 billion in economic output.
Attending the P&I Forum ensures LifeLong’s communities are represented in Washington as we work with Congress to protect funding, strengthen our workforce, and ensure everyone has access to quality, affordable health care.
Proud to stand with our fellow Community Health Centers in this vital work.
