Increasing Access To Care To Save LIves
Increasing Access To Care To Save Lives
In Indiana, we are working to improve the health of mothers and their babies and bring down our high maternal and newborn mortality rates.
With a new law I supported, more Hoosiers will be able to access important health benefits before, during, and after their pregnancies. By raising income requirements for Medicaid, more low-income Hoosiers will be able to receive critical medical care. This care will also be extended from a 60-day period to a full year of coverage.
According to a report from the Indiana Maternal Mortality Review Committee, 85% of pregnancy-associated deaths in Indiana occur postpartum. The report also found that only 44% of women who died of pregnancy-associated causes accessed prenatal care in the first trimester of their pregnancy.

Aces head into fun-filled weekend series against Illinois State
EVANSVILLE –Â Looking to continue its run of strong performance, the University of Evansville baseball team plays host to Illinois State for a three-game set on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at German American Bank Field at Charles H. Braun Stadium in Evansville.
Previewing the Matchup: Illinois State
- The Aces and Redbirds are meeting for the 125th time in series history with Illinois State owning a 69-54-1 advantage in the all-time series.
- Evansville and Illinois State met five times last season, four during their regular season series in Normal, Ill. and once in the first game of the MVC Championship in Carbondale, Ill., with Illinois State taking four of the five meetings.
- Entering the weekend, Evansville sits alone at the top of the MVC standings with a 9-3 mark in conference play, while the Redbirds are tied for fifth at 5-7 in Valley play.
- The Aces have won eight of their last nine MVC contests, earning sweeps over Missouri State and Bradley. Evansville’s lone loss in its last nine Valley contests came in extra innings to Indiana State.
Getting a Boost
- Comparing the 2021 seasons for Mark Shallenberger and Brent Widder to what they have produced so far in 2022 shows the hard work both have put in.
- Shallenberger hit .258 with nine doubles, five homers, and 27 RBI a season ago and this season is currently hitting .373 with 15 doubles, nine homers, and an MVC-best 46 RBI.
- Widder hit .246 last season with two homers and 17 RBI. Through 42 games this year, Widder is hitting .330 with seven home runs and 38 RBI, putting him top 10 in the MVC.
A Tale of Two Seasons
- The Aces opened the season with a 3-10 record, but turned its season around with a series sweep of Tulane, going 21-8 since.
- Prior to the Tulane series, the Aces were hitting just .248 at the plate. In the Tulane series and onward, UE is hitting .291.
- The pitching staff has also seen big improvements dropping a 6.75 ERA prior to the trip to New Orleans down to a 4.86 ERA since, which would rank in the top 100 in the nation.
Kids and Family Day | Saturday, 2 PM
- Kids (17 and under) get in free to Saturday’s game.
- Inflatables, face painting, free popsicles, and more!
Senator Braun Presses HHS Secretary Over Recommending Puberty Blocking Drugs, Hormone Therapy, And Sex Change Surgeries For Children
WASHINGTON – Today, Senator Mike Braun pressed Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra on his Department’s recommendations for “Gender Affirming Care†drugs and surgeries for adolescents.
The Health Resource guide<https://opa.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/2022-03/gender-affirming-care-young-people-march-2022.pdf> from the Department of Health and Human Services says that “for transgender and nonbinary children and adolescents, early gender-affirming care is crucial to overall health and well-being.â€
The guide goes on to define the term “gender-affirming care†as including social affirmation, but also puberty-blocking drugs, “partially†irreversible testosterone/estrogen hormone therapy, and completely irreversible “gender-affirming surgeries†such as double mastectomies and genital surgery on a “case by case†basis for adolescents.
Senator Braun asked Secretary Becerra under what “case by case†conditions a sex change surgery would be appropriate for a minor, and whether the Secretary understood that puberty blockers and hormone therapy are not FDA approved for the purpose of gender transition which the Department is recommending.
Senator Braun to Secretary Becerra: “I think the government shouldn’t be pushing kids toward irreversible sex change therapy. We’re moving into territory we’ve never been in as a government. These kids are having a hard time and we should be focusing more on mental health and not surgeries for kids that are totally irreversible. You’re promoting things that are out of sync with most of America and I think it would be wise to back up a little bit.†– Senator Mike Braun

UE Abruptly Fires Men’s Basketball Coach Todd Likelier
UE Abruptly Fires Men’s Basketball CoachTodd Lickliter
MAY 5, 2022
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Kenneth “Ziggy†Siegfried, EdD, director of athletics at the University of Evansville (UE), has announced the departure of head men’s basketball coach Todd Lickliter, effective immediately.
“I have had the opportunity to meet with Coach Lickliter and it is obvious that he is an outstanding individual who cares greatly for this University and our student-athletes,†said Siegfried. “Todd and his staff have exemplified the true meaning and purpose of a Purple Ace. We wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors.â€
Lickliter assumed the head coaching position on January 21, 2020, and directed the program through the COVID-19 pandemic. The highlight of his tenure came during the 2020-21 season when he orchestrated a 7-game Missouri Valley Conference turnaround while leading the Aces to a top-five finish in the league standings.
A national search for Lickliter’s replacement will begin immediately.
