In Our Own Words
Steven Walls and John Walls
"When John had a life-changing accident, I knew it was my responsibility to make sure he had the support he needed to stay independent. But when I had a gastric ulcer, I didn't have the medical insurance to make sure it was taken care of. While I was in the hospital, John's independence was at risk. We need the Consumer Workforce Council to support home care consumers like John, and workers like me, statewide."
