The Norwich and Windham Regional Health Care Accountability Sessions were a resounding success!!! We had 9 legislators and over 100 people attend the Norwich Session and 5 legislators and over 60 people attend the Windham Session. The healthcare4every1 campaign has now gotten to the point where legislators are letting US know that they support us without any convincing on our part. It is great to see the movement grow stronger and bigger!!!
Thank you to everyone who took the time out of their day to be at the Sessions.

Caring Families is excited to announce our Windham Regional Accountability Session. It will be held on Thursday, October 23rd @ 6:30 pm @ Windham Middle School Auditorium (123 Quarry Street, Willimantic, CT). We have invited and received confirmations from many local legislators and look forward to getting a chance to really let our state know what we want to see happen with our health care system. We need to show legislators that we really care about this issue. Become part of the healthcare4every1 movement by doing something as simple as showing up to this accountability session. Each additional person there is more pressure put on the legislators to listen to the people. There will also be a chance for audience questions.
