Lt. Gov. Crouch's statement on families of medically complex children meeting with Gov. Holcomb and FSSA

*STATEHOUSE (April 29, 2024) ?*The following is a statement from Indiana Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch after six families of medically complex children representing Indiana Families United For Care [ [link removed] ] (IFU4C) met with Gov. Eric Holcomb and Daniel Rusyniak, M.D., secretary of the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) on Monday, April 29, 2024.

IFU4C submitted 10 recommendations to Gov. Holcomb and Sec. Rusyniak on how FSSA can better support families impacted by its recent cuts to the Attendant Care Program.?

Lt. Gov. Crouch: ?First, I appreciate that Gov. Holcomb and Sec. Rusyniak finally met with families who are being impacted by the transition from the state?s Attendant Care Program to Structured Family Caregiving. This group submitted 10 recommendations to Sec. Rusniak and the governor today. Careful consideration of these recommendations is the least Gov. Holcomb and FSSA can do at this point. There are 62 days to make necessary adjustments to help give some of these families not only the hope but the help they need. I sincerely hope that these families can get answers by this Friday on the recommendations submitted to FSSA. As I have since January, I stand ready to help in any way possible. We in Indiana will be judged by how we care for the most vulnerable among us.?
