🌟 We are so proud of our Family Advocate, Ruth Aguilar, QIDP, and her incredible ability to share her story about the importance of Medicaid. Her daughter, Valerie, relies on this vital support for her care and independence. Losing Medicaid would mean losing stability and the chance for Valerie to live life on her own terms. Please take a moment to watch Ruth’s inspiring advocacy and understand the critical impact Medicaid has on families like hers. 🧡#MedicaidMatters #Advocacy #TheArcOfIllinois
