The 2011 Gala was held Monday evening (February 14, 2011) of the Family Voices National Conference. A Legacy of Leadership honored the work of two individuals whose commitment to improving healthcare for children has served as an inspiration for family leaders and professional partners alike.
Polly Arango, our dear friend and co-founder of Family Voices, was a proponent of family-centered care and advocated for a significant role for parents in designing and delivering services for children. Polly dedicated her life’s work to ensuring that children and families remain at the center of healthcare. Upon her untimely passing in June 2010, she has left behind a legacy of compassion and commitment to working on behalf of the most vulnerable in our society. View photo
Representative John Dingell (MI) has also dedicated his professional life to serving children and families. His ultimate goal is to ensure access to quality, affordable healthcare for every American, and as a result has sponsored healthcare legislation every year since he first joined Congress in 1955. Family Voices and AMCHP truly appreciate John’s steadfast commitment to public service and healthcare reform. View photo
Family leaders and advocates in the states were also honored for continuing to provide invaluable family-to-family support, timely resources and quality information to other families who must navigate a complex health care system. These leaders and advocates are helping keep families at the center of children’s healthcare, where we belong!
