Congresswoman Shontel Brown and Cuyahoga County Executive Chris Ronayne held a press conference at The Village of Healing Center.
At a time when access to affordable health care is at risk, Dána M. Langford, CEO and Founder of Village of Healing, continues to use her platform to speak up for the communities most affected by health care inequities. In a news conference, standing with Congresswoman Shontel Brown, Langford called attention to how proposed cuts to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Medicare could have devastating consequences, especially for Black families, low-income individuals, and seniors.
“We are a health care center committed to decreasing disparities, and improving outcomes in the black community.”
Under the proposed changes, millions could face higher premiums, reduced coverage, and fewer preventive care options. These challenges would further widen the already significant health disparities that exist among communities of color.
Langford emphasized, “We are a health care center committed to decreasing disparities, and improving outcomes in the black community.”
“We are blessed to be able to be Black providers, taking care of Black patients.”
Since 2022, The Village of Healing Center has focused on Black women’s health and mental wellness. Village of Healing was founded to close these very gaps. The center provides primary care, OB/GYN, mental health, and community wellness programs designed to meet the unique social and cultural needs of Black families.
“We are different, we are strong, and we are blessed to be able to be Black providers, taking care of Black patients every single day,” Langford said in the news conference.
