Such an honor to be the keynote speaker at the Union County Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Annual Prayer Breakfast. As we continue to honor his legacy everyday, may we be reminded of his words, “the time is always right, to do what is right.”

ALT Dena J. King, United States Attorney quote: “Durable medical equipment providers that cause the government to pay more than it should for medical equipment and supplies waste taxpayers’ dollars and raise the cost of health care for everyone.
