CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, June 10, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As the healthcare industry continues to combat the public health and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, Cleveland-area healthcare leaders recently gathered with Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur, representing Ohio’s 9th Congressional District, to discuss constricted access to social services. Congresswoman Kaptur opened the May 24 roundtable discussion by expressing a strong interest in how the American Rescue Plan will affect the communities served by the panelists. “My ears are open today to hear what you are seeing, because I think the social determinants of health are absolutely primary,” she announced. “The state of Ohio was actually allocated $5.5 billion...decisions are being made as we speak by the governor, by the state legislature. And it's very important for organizations to be in touch with your state representatives and senators...we have great need in this area...the institution's you represent should band together like a necklace. And you should make your voices heard to those who will be making decisions on where those dollars are to be expended.”
