“We extend our sincere congratulations to Xavier Becerra on his confirmation as Secretary of Health and Human Services. President Biden and Secretary Becerra have stressed their commitment to ensuring safe, equitable access to healthcare for everyone, including those with significant needs, and Secretary Becerra’s confirmation emphasizes the importance of strong leadership dedicated to improving health outcomes for the most vulnerable. It is crucial, especially as we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic and its long-term impact, that we take a collaborative approach to issues that impact vulnerable populations. We look forward to working closely with Secretary Becerra and other Medicare and Medicaid leaders to advance our mission of improving the health and well-being of people with significant needs by innovating, coordinating and providing the highest quality, individualized care.
