🎆 Fresh year, new goals, and the same mission: helping more people get enrolled in the federal benefits that keep families strong. Here’s to a 2026 filled with access, dignity, and impact. 💙✨

🥂 Happy New Year from Link Health! 🎉 This year, we’re charging forward with new goals, stronger partnerships, and the same commitment to expanding access to care. 💙 Here’s to fresh starts, bold ideas, and even greater impact in 2026! 🚀

As 2025 wraps up, we’re proud to share our impact! 🚀 $586,228 put back into households this cohort, 603 applications across 9 programs, and $5,467,819 returned to families year to date. 💙

🍎💙 This holiday season, we're supporting families on their path to a healthier start. WIC offers milk, fruit, formula & more. Link Health helps make enrollment simple. 🎁✨

Prescription drug prices are out of control and patients aren’t the only ones feeling it. The U.S. pays nearly 3× more for many medications compared to other developed countries, putting families and clinicians in an impossible spot. Doctors are trying to prescribe life-saving treatments…

When you read ONE more update about premiums, Medicaid, or the ACA and suddenly you’re like… yeah, I had a little cry 😩

❄️We're on Winter Break, but our mission continues!🚀You can still enroll in public benefits programs through LEO, our AI Patient Navigator. Our next cohort will start in January 2026, if you're passionate about creating impact and expanding access to care, this is your moment. 💙Apply! buff.ly/Zj9txMR

A tiny kitten shouldn’t have to fight for her degree to be seen as “professional" but here we are. Recent Department of Education proposals would exclude nursing from the “professional degree” category, which could limit access to certain federal grants & loan benefits for future nursing students

Nurses and nursing students can stay updated through the ANA’s website, where they’re collecting feedback and sharing ways to participate in the public comment process. Your voice matters more than ever. How do you think rules like this shape the future of our workforce?

🎙️ On AI and Healthcare with Dr. Sanjay Juneja and Dr. @alisterfmartin.bsky.social we discussed how at Link Health, we’ve harnessed AI technology to make benefit enrollment simpler, faster, and more equitable. With just one application, patients can enroll in multiple federal programs within minutes,

📱✨ This holiday season, don't miss out on Lifeline, a federal program that helps eligible families save on phone and internet bills. Stay connected to loved ones and essential services during the holidays. 💙🎄Need help applying? We've got you!

Our team joined a local Refugee Health Fair! 💪🏽 Suzette and Naya shared resources with attendees, while Soumya recruited volunteers from Baylor, Texas A&M, and UTHealth. Amazing day meeting our community and spreading the word about Link Health! 💙✨

When you explain again that premiums could jump 114%… you break down the math, the consequences, the policy… and they’re STILL not getting it 😭

🍂 Our Fall cohort has officially wrapped up, and we couldn't be prouder! Thanks to their hard work, we helped connect patients to over $5.4M in federal benefits. 💙 Together, we’re creating real change and expanding access to care every day.

In the U.S., prescription drugs cost nearly 2.8× more than in other developed countries, driven by complex pricing systems, pharmacy benefit managers, and limited transparency. For many families, that means choosing between a refill or the electric bill.

Last month our Operations Coordinator Dr. Julissa Barrios spoke to the Biomedical Intervention class at Pinecrest Glades Academy in Miami🎓sharing how AI can transform healthcare and help close the health equity gap 🤖💙 She inspired students with how technology can make care easier and more accessible

🎄 “So… what do YOU think about healthcare?” Ah yes, the annual holiday debate no one asked for. Here’s how to survive holiday healthcare convos without turning dinner into a debate stage: ✅ Lead with evidence, not ego ✅ Stay curious, not confrontational ✅ Center patients, not parties

You can stand up for facts without ruining the stuffing. Swipe for tips on how to talk policy (not politics) at the table and keep the peace while you’re at it. 🧠🥧 #HealthPolicyExplained #AdvocacyWithoutChaos #HealthcareConvos #AHealthierDemocracy

🎙️ Continuing the conversation on AI and Healthcare with Dr. Sanjay Juneja and Dr. @alisterfmartin.bsky.social we at Link Health have identified 9 major federal programs where enrollment can be a real challenge. That’s why we built a unique AI tool that simplifies the process,

Last month, our Executive Director Ar’Sheill Monsanto took the stage at the Texas AI Leadership Summit to share how Link Health is using AI to make benefit enrollment faster, simpler, and more equitable, advancing health access across Texas and beyond. 💙

Michigan just passed a major milestone by registering over 1,000 doulas four years ahead of schedule. Now covered by state Medicaid, doulas are more accessible to patients across the state. Research shows they improve outcomes by helping patients navigate care, advocate for themselves,

and reduce the likelihood of preterm births or unnecessary c-sections. This is a meaningful step forward in addressing maternal mortality and supporting healthier pregnancies. Other states may want to take notes. #DoulaCare #MedicaidCoverage #MaternalHealth #MichiganPolicy

Is your family facing rising health care costs? We need to hear from you. Share your experience with @momsrising.org to help elected leaders understand the impact of the #HealthCarePriceHike on families: momsrising.org/HCcoststories

The clock is ticking to stop the #HealthCarePriceHike. ACA enhanced tax credits expire Dec. 31 if Congress doesn’t act—and the cost to families will be enormous. Text ACA to (888) 418-5699 to call your Representative now.

Rising hospital and drug costs, especially for GLP-1 medications like Wegovy, are pushing premiums even higher. Without policy action, affordability will remain out of reach for many. #HealthcareCosts #ACATaxCredits #DrugPricing #HealthEquity #InsuranceAccess #AHealthierDemocracy

When the Affordable Care Act stops being… affordable 🫠

🩸Kanuszewski v. Michigan Department of Health & Human Services asked if using anonymized newborn blood samples for research violates privacy. The court said no, calling them essential for public health while still protecting confidentiality. Science & privacy do not have to be at odds #PublicHealth

It’s #GivingTuesday! 🌍 Your gift fuels both the AI technology that makes benefit enrollment faster and the 100+ trained Patient Navigators and remote team who bring that innovation to life, connecting families to food, healthcare, and internet access every day. 💙

Insurance systems sometimes feel like obstacle courses disguised as “coverage.” Long phone calls. Confusing plan details. Endless paperwork. Denials that make no sense & patients aren’t the only ones stuck; providers spend hours fighting the same maze. This is why understanding health policy matters

These aren’t abstract rules on a government website. They shape who gets care, how quickly, and whether a family can actually afford treatment. The more we talk about it, the harder it becomes to ignore. Save this for the next time you’re stuck on hold… again. 🫠

Worried about heating costs this winter? ❄️ We’re breaking down common HEAP myths and sharing the facts Massachusetts families need to know to stay warm and save. 💙 Read our latest blog: link-health.org/2025/11/20/h...

Prior Authorization was designed to reduce unnecessary care but in practice, it often delays urgent treatment and exhausts both patients and providers. You’ve likely experienced it if: 📌 Your prescription was denied, even though your doctor approved it 📌 Your MRI got postponed for “review”

📌 Your doctor seemed frustrated at the system, not at you This process is under scrutiny nationwide because the cost isn’t just in paperwork. It’s in delayed diagnoses, denied access, and in some cases... real harm. The policy is complex. The consequences are personal.

This Thanksgiving, we’re thankful for our incredible team, our community partners, and the families we serve, who remind us every day that compassion and connection can change lives. 💙
