“We’re looking at trying to get the line of what otherwise might have been paid by the state to stay the same so that we can continue operations as well as trying to get some more education out to the community,” said Shelby Bailey, a provider liaison for LIFE-NWPA.
The company said that they need our lawmakers’ support to continue to protect our seniors.
