Penncares headed to the Capitol in Harrisburg on Wednesday to make our voices heard! Terra Marie Landis and her DCW Stephanie Forry, Andrew Kilbride and his DCW Sarah Wilson, as well as Penncares In-Home Program Manager Sarah Rutledge along with Pennsylvania Homecare Association. Over 200 constituents met with Representatives throughout the day to advocate for Homecare and express the severity of the workforce struggle in HCBS. What an amazing feeling to be a part of such an incredible cause.
