We had a busy week at the capital with hearings on both rate reimbursement bills in both the Senate and the House ! The bills have all been laid over for possible inclusion in the omnibus bill. Now the work begins with advocating with leadership.
Many thanks to Sue for coming to St Paul two times and testifying virtually once and to Olga for testifying on the PCA bill last week! An Advocacy Committee member from PHS and a family member also joined me and sharing powerful testimony.
And, perfect timing for a WCCO TV story being shared today regarding the impact of the home care workforce shortage. This coverage is thanks to Darla utilizing her connections to build awareness. We were able
to share that the bills had been laid over in committees as of yesterday.
