Jackson, MS – The following is a statement from Jamie Bardwell and Danielle Lampton, Co-Founders and Co-Executive Directors of Converge, in response to reinstatement of the agency’s Title X funding for Mississippi and Tennessee.
“We are relieved to have received our Notice of Award for Title X funding today, which enables us to return to the essential work of supporting our clinical network, maintaining operations, and meeting the needs of our communities across Mississippi and Tennessee. This marks a critical step forward for communities that have gone without essential family planning funding for three months and have worked tirelessly to provide care with limited resources. We look forward to resuming services, reconnecting patients with trusted providers, and continuing the vital work of ensuring access to high-quality, compassionate care across the South.”
