An article in *D Magazine* profiles Lisa Padilla's advocacy for Cook Children's Health Plan (CCHP). Padilla emphasizes the importance of community-based knowledge in providing effective healthcare to Medicaid members, highlighting CCHP's deep understanding of the local cultures and ability to connect with the community. She expresses concern that HHSC's decision to potentially deny CCHP a new Medicaid contract and award it to large, national insurance providers could result in a loss of this valuable local insight and negatively impact healthcare delivery to vulnerable populations. Padilla notes CCHP's existing partnerships to address social determinants of health such as food insecurity, housing, and job readiness [14].
