Along with summer heat, COVID cases are rising in Kentucky and half of U.S. states. Increasingly lumped with Influenza-Like Illnesses, there's one important difference: unlike flu or RSV, COVID doesn’t slump in summer. We've seen a summer surge in each of the last five years.

60 years ago, #Medicaid was created as a lifeline for those too sick to work, uninsured, or struggling to afford care. But new changes and reporting requirements risk punishing the very people it was built to protect. #Medicaid60 #ProtectMedicaid #MedicaidMatters

PROVIDERS! Don't miss this opportunity to learn more about #KyMedicaid's new 1915i RISE Initiative. This could open the door to a lot of Medicaid-enrolled agencies to deliver reimbursable services that were previously out of reach. Join today's webinar: bit.ly/3GTeTmi

Chronic exposure to stigma, rejection and discrimination leave LGBTQ youth 4X more likely to attempt suicide than peers. Without specialized support to address those harms, this will worsen. Everyone deserves mental health care that sees them fully and treats them with dignity.

Measles has reached Louisville, just as families are gearing up for back-to-school. There is no treatment, and 1 in 5 unvaccinated cases require hospitalization. That makes vaccination and prevention crucial for KY kids. Here’s how to protect your family this season...

It's estimated 15 million Americans will lose their health insurance as a result of the trillion-dollar cuts Congress just passed. We won't simply "get over" losing our care. Advocates from across the country are taking action NOW at the National Mall: protectmedicaidvigil.com

Humans, take it from an apex predator who’s been around for 400 million years... fluoride keeps your teeth healthy and strong. Consistent exposure to fluoride through tap water and toothpaste strengthens enamel, prevents decay, and protects your oral health. #SharkWeek

Medicaid is 60! On this day in 1965, #Medicaid was signed into law with a bold promise: healthcare shouldn’t depend on income. Today, the program serves as a vital lifeline for 1 in 3 Kentuckians and 1 in 2 KY kids. Let’s honor that legacy by celebrating and protecting Medicaid!

Medicaid income limits are already low, so why is Congress ramping up asset testing? It’s not about accountability, it’s about cutting people's coverage. Asset tests make it harder for families to enroll or stay enrolled. We need to support working families trying to get ahead.
