Lawmakers passed a number of additional measures to advance health equity, including extending Medicaid coverage for 12 months post-partum, and passing legislation requiring health equity continuing education for health professionals.
These successes would not be possible without a diverse coalition calling attention to the importance of good oral health and advocating for increased access to care, particularly for historically under-resourced communities. Thank you for all you do to champion oral health equity, and thank you to lawmakers for prioritizing oral health and health equity in the final budget.
