On March 25, 2012, at 4:15 p.m., in Westbury, LI-CAN will announce a groundbreaking program in exclusive partnership with Partners in Care and the Visiting Nurse Service of New York, and the Town of North Hempstead to create a pilot program designed to ultimately improve the delivery of home health care for Long Island Seniors.  The program will provide a better job market and subsidized transportation for home health aides.
