Last week, our CEO,?Carlos Plazas and our board member Veronica X. Vela, DrPH, joined the Governor of Maryland for an important roundtable on prescription drug costs. At?La Clinica del Pueblo we believe that access to affordable medications is fundamental to building a healthy Latino community. That’s why we are thrilled about?Gov. Wes Moore’s announcement that the state of Maryland is partnering with?SIRUM, a non-profit led by?Kiah Williams,?which helps people access affordable medications. Every day, we see the impact of high prescription costs. Too often, families face impossible choices—deciding between buying their medications or covering essential necessities like food and transportation. By providing access to low-cost medication for those who need them most, more people have access to the care they deserve. Read more: https://bit.ly/4hz7ll0 #HealthForAll #Maryland #AccessToCare
