URGENT ADVOCACY EFFORTS:
The U.S. House of Representatives voted to approve a budget resolution that sets the stage for Medicaid cuts. As Congress continues to consider legislation that could make deep cuts to the federal Medicaid program, we must push back on these attempts and tell Congress why Medicaid is so important to I/DD services.

After learning about Andy Warhol and the Pop Art movement, we brought our own mural to life! 🎨 Painted by 16 individuals, this 4x4.5 ft piece reflects our creative spin on the Abilities logo. We chose background colors inspired by our Abilities colors, making a bold Pop Art statement that's uniquely ours.

📣 This Tuesday, our Board of Trustees were inspired by a Mission Moment featuring Darren, also known as “Reporter on Scene,” from Mary Apgar! 👏 His presentation highlighted the incredible impact of our work and brought our mission to life.
