🎙️ NMA 126th President, Dr. Roger A. Mitchell, Jr., joined SiriusXM Urban View to break down the critical conversation around healthcare access and the government shutdown.
Healthcare isn’t a privilege, it’s a right. At a time when millions of families depend on stable access to care, disruptions in government funding put communities at even greater risk.
We must keep pushing for solutions that ensure equity, access, and justice in healthcare.
