Coalition and Library to Host Community Listening Session on Tuesday

October 12, 2026 - 18:16

Kentucky Voices for Health will hold a community listening session on Medicaid and school health services from 3-5 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 13, at the McCracken County Public Library.

The event is designed to give residents a chance to share their experiences with Medicaid and health services provided in local schools. Organizers say the session will focus on how these programs affect families, students, and the broader community.

Participants will be able to speak about challenges they have faced, including access to care, coverage, and support services in schools. The feedback gathered will help shape future advocacy and recommendations.

The listening session is open to the public. Community members, parents, educators, and health care workers are encouraged to attend and take part in the discussion.

Those who plan to attend can simply show up at the library during the scheduled time. No registration is required. Organizers say they want to hear directly from people who use these services every day.

The session is one of several being held across the state to collect input from residents. The goal is to make sure local voices are part of the conversation about the future of Medicaid and school health programs.

For those unable to attend, additional sessions will be held in other communities in the coming weeks.
