CHICAGO — State Senator Mattie Hunter is encouraging residents to attend a virtual town hall on Feb. 28 to learn more about the current state of Medicaid and what can be done to protect critical care for vulnerable populations.

“During my tenure, I have seen our community continuously face challenges in accessing quality, affordable and equitable health care,” said Hunter (D-Chicago). “Now is the time to talk about critical aspects of our system that many residents rely on, such as Medicaid, and how we can work to ensure that this vital resource remains available to those who need it.”

The virtual town hall will be on Friday, Feb. 28 at 6 p.m. in partnership with State Representatives Sonya Harper and Kimberly Du Buclet, as well as Niya Kelly from the Chicago Coalition to End Homelessness. Those interested in attending must pre-register online.

Residents with questions about the event can contact Hunter’s district office at 312-949-1908.
