Much has been made of the insufficient federal efforts to get money and personal protective equipment to front-line medical workers during this . But many of ºÚÁÏÐÂÎÅ’s nonprofit community care providers have a bone to pick with the state in that regard. ºÚÁÏÐÂÎÅ Radio’s John Henry Smith spoke with Barry Simon, the CEO of Oak Hill, the state’s largest nonprofit social services provider.

We depend on your support. .

Hear the interview below.

Oak Hill is a financial supporter of ºÚÁÏÐÂÎÅ.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.
