“Nursing school seemed out of reach financially, and with work and family, I didn’t know how I would make it happen. This program offered the support, flexibility, and resources I needed to turn my dream into a reality.” – Adachukwu (Ada), BAYADA Nurse

At BAYADA, we believe every voice matters—especially when it comes to protecting those most vulnerable in our communities. 🚨

Medicaid is facing drastic cuts at the federal level, and states have been forced to make impossible choices: slash vital programs like home care, or raise taxes just to keep essential services running. This isn’t true shared responsibility—it’s a quiet dismantling of care for millions who depend on these programs every day. 🛑

📣 Now, more than ever, we must stand up and be the voice for those who cannot advocate for themselves—for people with disabilities, older adults, and families relying on home care. 🗣️ Their well-being depends on our courage to speak out and demand real solutions that prioritize care over cuts.

Let’s rise together in advocacy. Let’s make sure those who need us most are heard, seen, and supported. Our compassion is our strength. Our advocacy is our promise. ❤️

The White House says roughly $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts won’t limit home- and community-based care. Health care experts disagree.
