Curtis
teamed up with songwriters Mary Francis and Derrick Hampton and
immediately thought their song
“Angel Wings” would be a
perfect fit as an anthem for Meningitis Angels. Curtis went into to
the studio with a children’s choir, including meningitis survivors,
to record “Angel Wings”. They also filmed a music video for
“Angel Wings” that featured Meningitis Angels representatives
and meningitis survivors in a public service announcement at the end
of the video.

Senator Elizabeth Steiner Hayward, MD
was also in attendance at the capitol to show her support. “This
is a crucial time to have this conversation in Oregon. As a family
physician, I believe this is the most important thing we can do.

This bill has bipartisan support. It’s all about parental choice,
and about government transparency to make sure people have the
information they need to make informed decisions about their
child’s health” said Hayward. Senator Hayward has written Senate
Bill 895 which encourages Oregon parents to get their school-aged
children vaccinated. She is co-sponsoring the bill along with
Oregon Senator Chuck Thomsen (R-26).
