“I will turn 16 this Friday, which means that I will not qualify for the current HUSKY expansion up to 15 years starting in July. I can’t understand why. Why are some children excluded from this program? Why are some children denied access to essential healthcare?”

Dr @lelavillegas: “We need your support to empower the next generation of children to grow up healthy adults. Our immigrant families are resilient, but need the fundamental human right to healthcare. When we take care of our children, we're taking care of our entire community"

[HUSKY 4 Immigrants @4_husky]

“When we are not able to provide ways for our patients to obtain preventative care, we are causing a higher burden on the healthcare system through more Emergency Room visits, hospitalizations, and ultimately, higher costs related to the consequences of not having routine care.”

“Chronic conditions like kidney disease and diabetes do not stop at the age of 15 – if anything; this is when we see more of the complications.” @lelavillegas

“My mom has always encouraged me to be active and engaged in school activities. In February, on a field trip, I had an accident where I broke my collarbone; my biggest worry wasn't the pain or the recovery—it was the financial burden it placed on my mother. “
