These babies are born addicted to opioids through no fault of their own and we must do everything we can to help them and the healthcare providers that care for them, including Lily\u2019s Place. Lily\u2019s Place and West Virginia\u2019s other neonatal healthcare providers have led the way in neonatal abstinence syndrome treatment and have provided critical care as these babies and their mothers struggle to recover. I urge HHS to follow GAO\u2019s recommendation and immediately implement the agency\u2019s strategies and recommendations to improve care for these babies.\u201d\r\n###\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t  \n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t \n\t\t\n\t\t\tPrint\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tEmail\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tTweet\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t \n\t\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n\t\n    \n    \n    \n    \t\n    \t\n\t    \t  \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tNext Article\n\t\t    \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tPrevious Article", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.manchin.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/manchin-encourages-hhs-to-follow-gao-recommendation-and-take-immediate-action-to-address-neonatal-abstinence-syndrome"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.06036982126534, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
