UPDATE TO OUR SUPPORTERS: WE'RE STILL HERE!
As you may have seen in the media, PICC has been forced to suspend its infant care program after 35 years of safely caring for 3,500 drug-exposed newborns. This was caused by Governor Ferguson's veto of PICC's state funding, allowing DCYF to cancel PICC's state contract for the placement and care of drug-exposed infants. This has been a sad and deeply troubling time, and we are immensely grateful for the media representatives, legislators, and thousands of caring people who have rallied to our cause. We want you to know that we are still here and fighting for a future that will allow PICC to continue to care for these vulnerable babies. We are open and operating administratively, and we will keep you informed about upcoming events and ways to get involved. For now, we invite you to contact your state senator and representatives--not just on behalf of PICC, but also, and more importantly, on behalf of of the drug-exposed infants whose lives and welfare are being endangered by current state policies.
