Incredible visit to the Oklahoma School for the Deaf.
The students, staff, & campus were so welcoming. After years on Appropriations, it’s powerful to see the real stories behind our investments. Grateful for the chance to learn more & spend time with these amazing kids.

Tackling staffing shortages w/an on-site CNA prog., while still caring for 70–75 people daily.
Challenges remain - MCO transitions = tighter budgets, changing reimbursements, & endless paperwork.
Inspiring to keep learning from those on the frontlines. 🌟
