Title X Health Centers Share the Impacts of Withheld Funds - Part 1
Manage episode 491910597 series 2581616
In April 2025, some organizations and health centers receiving Title X funding were given sudden notice by the current administration that critical funding would be withheld. This action by the federal government threatens roughly $65.8 million in Title X funds and implicates an estimated 846,000 patients. It has resulted in massive layoffs, stopped contracts, mental strain, and confusion for both employees and patients. As patients are not receiving the care they need due to a stop in funding, possible results could include rising rates of unintended pregnancies, rising rates of STIs, poorer maternal health outcomes, and later diagnoses of breast and cervical cancers.
We sit down with co-founders and executive directors of some of these impacted organizations, including:
Michelle Trippiano, Executive Director for the Missouri Family Health Council, and
Danielle Lampton, and Jamie Bardwell, Co-Founder and Co-Executive Directors at Converge in Jackson, Mississippi.
