The United States Senate Special Committee on Aging will be holding a hearing tomorrow to discuss the long-term care workforce.

U.S. Senator Bob Casey (PA), Chairman of the Committee, has invited Nick Smith, a NADSP-certified direct support professional from Philadelphia to provide testimony. It’s rare that direct support professionals have the opportunity to testify before the United States Senate and we invite you to watch Mr. Smith on Tuesday.
