Save IRIS
Please help maintain people with disabilities in their homes and respect their right to select and manage their own care.
Why is this important?
The IRIS program that allows disabled persons or their families to manage their needs. My grandson Carter has severe cerebral palsy and is non-verbal. His homecare services are highly specialized for his unique needs and require a great deal of patience, training and coordination by parents and nursing staff. Experience has show us that agencies do not have the staffing consistencies to deal with these special needs. Independently, the family has been able to use funding to find nurses who have caring for Carter for 12 years. Please don't take that away from us. Wisconsin has led the nation with the IRIS program. Help us continue IRIS.
