(Sep 19, 2024)

HARRISBURG, Sept. 19 – State Rep. Carol Hill-Evans today issued a strong call to action regarding the health and well-being of children across the commonwealth. In a statement underscoring the importance of providing comprehensive health care coverage for every child, she applauded the significant efforts of Family First Health, a local health care provider dedicated to ensuring children in schools are connected with the care they need. “Our children are the future of Pennsylvania, and we owe it to them to make sure they have access to high-quality health care from an early age,” said Hill-Evans, D-York. “No child should go without the medical care they need, and it is our responsibility as policymakers, parents and community members to create a system that guarantees health coverage for every child.” In Pennsylvania, thousands of children face the daily challenge of inadequate health care, a barrier that hinders their academic performance and long-term development. Hill-Evans emphasized that healthy children are better learners, and access to routine checkups, vaccinations, dental care and mental health services is crucial for every student’s success. “Health care is not just about treating illnesses but about fostering an environment where children can thrive both in and outside the classroom,” she said. “When children are healthy, they are better able to focus, participate and Read more

Parker and Hill-Evans host menstrual equity news conference

(May 22, 2024)

State Reps. Darisha Parker and Carol Hill-Evans stood again with Speaker Joanna McClinton, menstrual health professionals and Pennsylvania students to spread awareness about period poverty and advocate for the Senate to pass legislation to help this important issue. Parker and Hill-Evans authored legislation, H.Bs. 850 and 851, to make period products more accessible for low-income women. “We need to speak about periods bluntly,” Parker said. “No more euphemisms or hiding tampons in our sleeves to use the restroom. “It’s crazy that this natural biological process – a beautiful one that has the power to create life is still considered a taboo subject,” Parker continued. “It’s not just a financial issue but barriers to period products can lead to substantial health issues for women and perpetuate a cycle of poverty that can be impossible to escape from.” The lawmakers said that H.B. 850 would allow for women who participate in the SNAP or WIC program to purchase expensive period products using these programs, which Parker said would help empower women to take charge over their own bodies. “Tampons and pads aren’t a luxury for us,” Parker said. “We don’t choose to participate in our periods every month, these are products we need to preserve our dignity and participate in all of life’s important milestones.” Read more
