Show Notes
Maddies Place, a Spokane nonprofit, secures $2 million from Washington state Legislature to support infants born with substance withdrawal. This funding, part of a supplemental budget bill, covers operations through June 2027 and makes up 45% of their annual budget. The facility, which opened in 2022, now has a stable funding model, thanks to the efforts of Senators Marcus Riccelli, June Robinson, and Representative Timm Ormsby. Despite a stalled Medicaid reimbursement bill, Maddies Place has raised nearly $19.3 million since 2020, with almost $10 million from the state. The funding comes as Spokane County sees nearly double the rate of neonatal abstinence syndrome in newborns compared to the rest of the state or the nation.
