⭐️A message from advocate Kathy Hoell:
“As co-chair of the Olmstead Committee, I worked with Brad Meurrens of Disability Rights Nebraska to create a survey for people with disabilities, family members, guardians, friends, and allies.
Survey results will be shared with members of the HHS Committee and Urban Affairs Committee to inform their review of Nebraska’s progress on the Olmstead Plan.
I encourage everyone who is able to attend the hearing to show support for the Olmstead Plan and help make this vision a reality. Please share this information with your network.”
