Looking ahead

SENNETT - Long-term care for the elderly and the disabled is a critical issue in this country.

“The disability movement is the next civil rights movement,” said Michelle Berry, director of the Broome County Community Alternative Systems Agency (CASA).

Berry was asked to deliver the keynote speech at last Tuesday afternoon's kick-off meeting of the NY Connects: Cayuga County Long Term Care Office, a division of the Cayuga County Community Health Network.
