CHWC needs your help, in that CHWC- Bryan Hospital needs a program through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to continue. The Medicare Dependent Hospital (MDH) program will expire on September 30, 2022. We are in need of a congressional act to make this program permanent. There is currently proposed legislation that would do this. Please help CHWC get this legislation approved by urging support from our senators and representatives. (We have included two representatives due to the proposed 2022 congressional redistricting.)

The easiest way to express your support:

1. Download the four letters below.
2. Read through the letter to understand the importance of the MDH program and how it impacts CHWC and our community.
3. Sign digitally. (Simply click on the signature and title lines and type. Feel free to share the company you work for and your title, or sign “Community Member” if you wish.)
4. Save.
5. Email to the aide whose email address is listed at the bottom of each letter.
