Last Sunday, CAC’s own Dr. Amrita Stark was supported by CAC friends as she stepped onto the runway to stand in solidarity with Denim Day and its mission to end victim blaming and support survivors of sexual assault.🫶

Denim Day is a worldwide movement that sends a powerful message that what we wear is never an invitation for harm. It is about raising awareness, breaking stigma, and standing together as a community that believes survivors and supports change.🌎❤️ YWCA Clark County

📚✨ Oh, the fun we had at CAC this week!

Our team had a Seuss-tastic time celebrating Read Across America and Dr. Seuss Week🎩 with colorful outfits, lots of laughter, and plenty of team spirit. 🐟Our staff showed up in fun styles all week long to bring a little extra joy and imagination into the clinic for the kids and families we care for.

At CAC, we believe reading, creativity, and a little silliness are all part of helping kids grow healthy and strong. 🦊🧦It was such a fun week celebrating together and seeing so many smiles.😃

Thank you to our incredible team for always bringing positivity, kindness, and fun to the work you do every day. We truly have the best team! ❤️

HB2242/SB 5967 allows science and evidence to continue to guide our vaccine purchasing in Washington. Decouples vaccine coverage and state guidance from ACIP/CDC . ❤️

This is vital because new federal recommendations put children and families at risk of decreased access to vaccines and increased risk of PREVENTABLE illness. 🤯The new recommendations are not based on science or data‼️🥼📚
