URGENT: Protect Funding for Lee Specialty Clinic
Copy, paste and personalize the following message into the comments section:
“Dear [Legislator’s Name],
My name is [Your Name], and I am a constituent living at [Your Street Address, City, Zip Code]. I am writing to urgently request your help to protect the Lee Specialty Clinic from devastating funding and Medicaid reimbursement cuts.
The Lee Specialty Clinic provides comprehensive, highly specialized medical, dental, and therapeutic care for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Because these services are highly coordinated and tailored to complex special needs, there are virtually no equivalent alternative providers in our state.
Allowing this clinic to close or scale back operations would strip a highly vulnerable population of their fundamental right to accessible healthcare.
I urge you to please protect the clinic’s funding framework and secure its long-term operational stability.
Our community is counting on your leadership to protect these essential services.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this critical issue.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]”
