Technology-Assisted Medicaid Waiver
 

I am a Family Nurse Practitioner and friends with a family whose child qualifies for services via the Technology-Assisted Medicaid Waiver.  I have seen the benefits the waiver provides, especially vital needs such as home nursing care and medical supplies.  Most importantly, their home nursing care is the key component to their daily ability to hold steady jobs, manage a household and create a functional lifestyle.  As their work and personal life revolve around the nurses who help care for Brett, missed nursing shifts have a huge, real impact on their lives.

Please make this simple change to drastically improve the daily lives for the Gillums.

Sincerely,

Joanne Yoo
