Protect Health and Human Services -- Vote for 15

Renewing support on May 4th for Cuyahoga County’s Health and Human Services issue ensures that children, seniors and families will continue to receive the critical services that make our community strong and healthy. Any one of us – our children, parents, families or friends – may one day need assistance during a crisis or trauma. We must make sure those services are there whenever any one in Cuyahoga county needs them.

The critical services funded by this issue include:

• Our region’s only Level One Trauma and Burn Center at MetroHealth, Metro Life Flight and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit where lives are saved each and every day;
• Home health care and other services that make it possible for senior citizens to continue to live independently in their own homes; and
• Programs to protect our children who are at risk of abuse or neglect which will ensure that our children enter school healthy, prepared and ready to learn.

In this tough economy, these services -- and a long list of others -- are needed now more than ever. The Health and Human Services issue must be renewed. Here are some additional documents with resources to help ensure support for issue 15:
