One of the many state funded programs that help make Wisconsin a better place to live is IRIS, which helps vulnerable Wisconsinites stay independent and in their own homes, and out of nursing homes. Those blessed by the program are terrified of what their future holds without it. Don't cut IRIS funding.
Why is this important?
While at the Joint Finance Committee hearings, I heard heart-breaking testimony by IRIS clients and their families, pleading to spare IRIS funds from the chopping block. As a Wisconsin Registered Nurse for 34 years, and a patient advocate for longer, I feel an obligation to amplify their plea for IRIS funding to be preserved.
