Tammy and I, and our children, are incredibly saddened to learn of the passing of our dear friend, colleague, and partner in government, @LtGovOliver.
We ask that you all keep the Oliver family and all those who loved her in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Today, the Senate passed HB 80 requiring that doula services be covered by Medicaid in Delaware, sending the bill to the Governor's desk. DHA supports HB 80 as doulas have a positive impact on the health outcomes of mothers and their babies. Thank you @repminor & @Marie4Senate !
We’re witnessing history on Capitol Hill – by unanimous consent. The first woman to be elected President Pro Tempore of the Senate.
Congrats to you, Patty. I look forward to continuing our work together.
A recent March of Dimes report says, "access to maternity care is decreasing in the parts of the U.S. that need it the most..." Increasing access to doula and midwifery care is among the many solutions suggested. https://t.co/1gqBvQZq97
@FirstStateAF went “live” today - the hotline & website are accepting calls for help now! On this launch day, we ask that you make a contribution & consider starting a monthly gift to support abortion access for ALL in DE, regardless of income. Info here: https://t.co/Uz7zskupEk
Today, DE passed HS 2 for HB 344 addressing disparities in health care by directing the development of guidelines for cultural competency training programs, including implicit bias. DHA is pleased to support HS 2 for HB 344 and thanks sponsors @RepMinor and @SarahEMcBride!
Dobbs emphasized the need to take action to protect and expand abortion access and care wherever we can. Today, the Delaware General Assembly — led by @RepMinor and @KyleEvansGay — delivered for Delaware with HB 455.
LBR stopped by to celebrate.
