Dear [title + name],I am contacting you about a deep concern that I have for the Thundermist Healthcare clinic here in Rhode Island. I'm sure that you know that the Clinic serves over 62,000 of our people, and that it provides compassionate, thorough and affordable (essential) care to a great variety of people.It has run into hard times financially in part because of some inner workings, but a crucial element to the crisis they now face has been shortcomings with both state and Federal Medicaid reimbursements. Both have been delayed, and are scaled at a rate too low to meet the costs of the quality of care they provide.They have built a team of incredible people, whose authentic passion for their work has played a significant role in many local lives. Their organization provide a sense of safety, compassion and advocacy the likes of which I have experienced absolutely nowhere else. And their support network often serves as both the catalyst for life-saving personal transformation and growth, and the means to reach it — all in communities that are in the greatest need of such deeply important care.Thundermist is undeniably a pillar of stability and safety to many who they represent. Its continued presence is essential to many thousands of our citizens. I hope that you will use your position of leadership to support their continued efforts, just as they continue to show up for all of us who rely on them.Thank you,~A Worried Citizen
