Many believe Medicaid covers all medical needs for low-income families, but that's not the case. Due to low reimbursement rates, many doctors don't accept Medicaid, leaving families without the care they need. It's time for policy change to close these "coverage deserts."

Take Dolores Huerta's words to heart—every moment is an opportunity to make a difference, every person a potential activist, and every minute a chance to change the world we live in.

Two leaders. Two lifetimes of work in health, community and equity.

Hispanic Heritage Month runs September 15 through October 15, and we're closing it by honoring two of our own.

Swipe through to meet Andrés E. González and Dr. Anahi Ortiz: both members of our Board of Directors, and both people who have spent their careers making health systems work better for the communities they serve.

Andrés has built community engagement and DEI programs for some of the country's most respected health systems, always pointed at the same goal: care that's culturally and linguistically competent, because that's the care that actually produces better outcomes.

Dr. Ortiz served as Franklin County Coroner from 2014 until her retirement in 2022, after decades as a physician. She now gives her time to board development and strategic planning for small nonprofits, in Ohio and Arizona.

Two people who did the work first and took the board seat second. That's the kind of leadership we're proud to have guiding this Federation.

Equity means care that reaches people where they are, in the language they speak, from providers who see them.

🎗️ Breast Cancer Awareness Month has to be about more than wearing pink. It also has to be about equity.

Black women are 38% more likely to die from breast cancer than White women, despite being less likely to be diagnosed with the disease.

That disparity points us toward the bigger conversation: Who has access to screening? Who is diagnosed early? Who receives timely, high-quality treatment? And what barriers stand between a woman and the care she needs?

Awareness matters. Access matters. Early detection matters. Equity matters. 💚

🎗️ "Get screened" sounds simple.

But for some women, getting a mammogram can mean finding transportation, taking unpaid time away from work, arranging childcare, navigating insurance or locating a provider they trust.

That is why conversations about breast cancer must include conversations about access. 💬

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, encourage the women you love to talk with their healthcare providers about breast cancer screening, and remember that creating health equity also requires removing the barriers that make preventive care harder to access. 💚

Early detection shouldn't be a privilege.

Equity means talent is not limited by access, opportunity or ZIP code.

A woman's potential should never be determined by her ZIP code, race, income or access to resources. 💬

Economic security is one of the many conditions connected to individual, family and community well-being. Creating equity requires us to examine the barriers that keep talented people from accessing capital, resources, networks and opportunities. 🌱

Because when more women can thrive, our communities become stronger too. 💪
