The entire board and leadership group at The Devack Henderson Foundation stands in solidarity with Mississippi Patient Voices and the Patients of Mississippi! These are the most vulnerable and financially insecure patients of the state, which means some of the most financially insecure patients in the nation. We have to find ways to work through the bureaucracy, to help those most in need.
Practitioners who don’t support $50 doctor visits are still trying to shut down the patient drive campaign. Now they've got a fake PAC, and they’re trying to trick patients into gimmicky memberships, claiming to be compassionate all while insinuating that patients seeking $50 cards are liars who could really afford to spend more on medical services.
Practitioners who’ve never attended our events claim they “look too recreational.” What the hell does that even mean??? Perhaps you’re looking at it through the lens of stigma or perhaps you don’t even believe in the medicine you’re peddling.
Our patients are amputees, going through chemo, having full on panic attacks, paralyzed, blind, in pain, and desperately seeking relief. The elation they have after seeing the practitioner is one of the most satisfying things to witness.
We’ve already had practitioners be intimidated into dropping out of our campaign. We’re going to do our best to continue. Luckily we have time to adapt. I'm deeply disappointed but rest assured that MS Patient Voices isn't intimidated and isn't for sale. We will always advocate for patients ACCESS, EDUCATION, AND EMPOWERMENT.
