All heroes don’t wear cares! 🫡
We are so grateful for home care workers who keep the world turning. It’s past time they’re shown appreciation for the dedicated work they do!

Healthcare is a human right! You said it perfectly. 🤝

🧵 This morning, home care workers & President Thomas of SEIU Virginia 512 joined Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services Andrea Palm to celebrate the newly released Medicaid Access Rule’s investments in care workers. #CareCantWait #CareIsEssential

It is an honor to stand next to the home care workers doing this tremendous work all while providing quality care. 💜

Wishing a sweet and meaningful Passover to all our members, family, and friends who celebrate!

🚨WATCH NOW🚨

Care is an essential part of life and deserves to be an essential part of conversations when policies are being made.
Grateful to VP Harris for hosting this critical discussion. 💜

🫱🏾‍🫲🏽 In April 2023, President Biden's Executive Order was a promise to transform caregiving, leading to significant proposed rules by CMS. These include ensuring Medicaid funds increase home care worker wages and setting minimum staffing standards in nursing homes.  #CareCantWait
