Community Action Toolkit

Speak up about why local healthcare is a priority for you!

Why It Matters:

Mee Memorial serves a vulnerable population with few alternatives. Medicaid and Medicare keep our hospital and clinics running.

How to Take Action:

• Over 39% of our region relies on Medicaid
• MMHS is the only emergency provider in South County
• Medicaid cuts could lead to service reductions or delays
