Assemblyman Greenwald delivered the keynote at our Annual iMatter Conference held at the Nassau Inn. Assemblyman Greenwald was an absolute inspiration to our national audience calling the warehousing of people with disabilities "a moral offense" and promised that he would not stop working until the developmental centers were closed.
“We need to bring the way we care for the developmentally disabled into the 21st century,” said Greenwald. “By investing in community-based programs rather than traditional institutionalized models, we can both save taxpayers money and provider higher-quality care.” Greenwald goes on to say, “ The important work being done by Community Options furthers our shared goal of creating more choices and better care for people with developmental disabilities and their families.”
