DUBLIN TOWN HALL
Improving access to mental health care is personal to me and one of my top priorities in Congress. I recently had the honor of joining President Biden at the White House to celebrate landmark action his Administration is taking to increase access to mental health services by strengthening health parity so more Americans can get the quality, affordable care they need. I look forward to continuing my efforts in Congress to address our nation’s mental health crisis.
