“In those first few days and weeks after giving birth, it is crucial to have bonding time. It allows mothers to establish a breastfeeding routine if they choose," Arise's @JHarrisJD tells @thebnctv at @WBRC. #alpolitics wbrc.com/2025/02/15/pro…
Arise’s membership continues to grow both in numbers and geographic reach. Please consider joining Arise as a member today! #Arise2025 alarise.org/get-involved/d…
Senior health policy advocate @JHarrisJD shares an update on Alabama’s unwinding process. Find more information in our toolkit. #Arise2025 #CoverAlabama alarise.org/resources/alab…
“The cost is prohibitive for a lot of people that are not able to afford treatment if there is something that’s discovered, and this is very unfortunate because when it comes to going to our overall health, our prevention starts in our mouth,”Harris said.#OralHealth #healthequity
Via @alanderrocha: The report found that 41% of Alabama's kindergarteners and 50% of the state's third graders have experienced tooth decay. Nationwide, 22% of kindergarteners and 20% of third graders show signs of tooth decay. alabamareflector.com/2024/08/15/rep… #alpolitics

Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it. (Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer. But it’s a great few minutes of television.)
The time is now! Working parents, young adults, and veterans need #accesstocare Rural communities and hospitals across #Alabama need resources #shareyourstory and join our work to #closethecoveragegap for a healthier Alabama #CoverAlabama #MedEx
“We do have hopes that we will continue that movement and that next year we will finally be able to close the [Medicaid] coverage gap,” Arise’s @JHarrisJD said. Read more from @MikeCasonAL on @aldotcom. #CoverAlabama #alpolitics al.com/news/2024/05/a…
Alabama continues to lose ground when it comes to workers and families having solid footing on too many issues from #healthcare to #labor to #foodinsecurity to #housing We can and should do better #alpolitics
"We are dealing with a lot of issues that overlap. And when you take away protections for families, we're going to lose a lot of ground," Arise's @JHarrisJD tells @stucknation. The interview starts at 9:55. #CoverAlabama #alpolitics work-bites.com/view-all/liste…
To reduce the devastating effects of poorer #healthoutcomes, we must address #SDOH issues that prevent workers and communities from thriving #healthcareaccess #health #equity
"We have a lot of people that live in rural communities that do not have access to services, especially medical services," @JHarrisJD tells @stucknation. Interview starts at 9:55. #CoverAlabama #alpolitics work-bites.com/view-all/liste…
Alabama has an obtainable, feasible solution to drastically improve health outcomes and support working families, prevent loss of services and hospital closures, and boost labor participation rates #alpolitics #ClosetheCoverageGap
"We hear stories from their families, about how they wait too long to have a screening when they knew something was wrong...,” @JHarrisJD tells @alanderrocha at the @ALReflector. #alpolitics #CoverAlabama alabamareflector.com/2024/04/22/rep…

“It is just a lot of information in a very short amount of time,” Harris said. “And sometimes people may not be able to grasp all the information or understand what’s needed for action on their part.” #Medicaid #Unwinding
“People need their healthcare coverage. And when they’re eligible, there is no reason why they should be caught up in a procedure or issue,” Arise's @JHarrisJD tells @WillieshaMorris at @aldotcom. #alpolitics al.com/news/2023/07/s…
