Last week, Manning Family Children’s expert Heart Center team added another first in Louisiana and the Gulf South to the list of innovative procedures found within our cath lab. Our team, led by Dr. Alexandru Firan, MD, implanted the first Renata Minima stent, a first-of-its-kind stent system FDA approved for treating vascular stenosis in neonates and infants. The Renata Minima is tailored to treat infants and designed to be gradually re-expanded to adult sizes to accommodate a growing child. Congratulations to our Heart Center team for continuing to advance pediatric heart care, right here at home. ❤️

Millions of people with disabilities rely on Medicaid home and community-based services (HCBS) to live in their homes and be part of their communities. These services help pay for direct support professionals, daily care, and the support people need to live healthy lives in their own communities.

But after the biggest Medicaid cuts in history last year, many states are now struggling to make up for lost funding, which could mean longer waiting lists and less access to these critical services. And now, Congress is considering more cuts!

Tell Congress to protect HCBS. Click the link in the comments to take action now!
