Meet the Team!

Kim Jones began her organizing career as a volunteer storyteller. She shared about her family’s concerns over the cost of healthcare with lawmakers to help them understand what so many people from our state have to go through to afford the medicine they need. . After volunteering on the Insulin Affordability Bill of 2020, she started working for the Health Care for All campaign. She is passionate about working on state and federal policy and loves seeing how that work can affect the lives of West Virginians who struggle to afford adequate care.

Mindy Salango is a Type 1 Diabetic who was forced to ration her insulin for a year due to the high cost and inadequate insurance coverage.  After coming out of that life-threatening experience, Mindy decided to speak out and work to ensure no one is forced to make choices between their home, food, and utilities or their life saving medications.  She joined HCFA so she can work with other dynamic advocates to move the needle and get us closer to Health Care for ALL!  Mindy lives in Morgantown with her partner, Paul, their 3 kids, and furbaby, Kylo.

He has found his calling helping those who are facing similar situations. Jude joined Healthcare For All WV in 2020 with his calling in mind, helping to identify and eliminate the systemic issues that serve to trap families in poverty, especially access to affordable healthcare.
