🌟 Advocating for Change at the Florida State Capitol! 🌟
We're proud to share that two of our dedicated leaders from Acorn Health, Payor Relations Manager April Bailey and Interim Vice President of Operations Aileen Maderal, recently traveled to the Florida State Capitol. They engaged in important lobby discussions to advocate for vital changes in ABA therapy service delivery within the state.

Their focus was on addressing current barriers created by the RBT credentialing process, which hinder both the retention of clients in care and the reliable access to care for those in need. Their efforts aim to create a smoother, more predictable path for families seeking ABA therapy services.

Together, we're committed to ensuring that every individual in Florida has access to the high-quality care they deserve. Thank you to our leaders for championing this critical cause! 💙💚
