Department of Human Services (DHS) Acting Secretary Meg Snead and WellSpan Health Vice President of Community Health and Engagement Ann Kunkel today visited Hunter Cottage in York to talk about the importance of increasing investments in personal care homes (PCH) as outlined in the Governor's proposed budget.PCHs support the broader long-term care and health care systems by providing safe housing and assistance to older people and people with disabilities who need help with daily tasks, but who do not need acute or long-term medical care."Personal care homes provide invaluable services by allowing residents who may need help with daily living remain in their communities and closer to family, friends, and neighbors," said Acting Secretary Snead. "Personal care homes are a vital community-based service, and now is the time for the commonwealth to increase its investment in caring for our seniors and people with disabilities."List of Speakers:Meg Snead, Acting Secretary, DHSAnn Kunkel, Vice President of Community Health and Engagement at WellSpan HealthXzavier Hunter, Owner/Operator of Hunter Cottage
