Mississippi children depend on Le Bonheur’s expert care, will you contact your state legislators and Gov. Tate Reeves to support the Medicaid Tech bill (SB 2386)? This bill would allow for Le Bonheur to receive funds from the state for care provided to Mississippi kids who are uninsured or on Medicaid — children suffering from diseases ranging from brain tumors to congenital heart disease. Each year, we care for 18,000 children enrolled in Mississippi Medicaid.
