Additional hearings in Hayward and tribal hearing will be scheduled with locations to be determined.

If you cannot attend the hearing, e-mail your Family Care and IRIS 2.0 comments toDHSFCWebmail@wisconsin.govor mail to Department of Health Services, Division of Long Term Care, Family Care and IRIS 2.0, P.O. Box 7851, Room 550, Madison, WI 53707-7851.

The Wisconsin Long Term Care Coalition has put togethera set of principlesthat must be the foundation of Wisconsins future Long Term Care systemto help participants develop written testimony. If possible, bring a written copy of your testimony. People will be given 3 minutes to speak.

You are an expert in the daily services you and your family need to live in and be a part of the community. Now is the time to tell DHS what good things about the current system should stay the same, whether there are some things that should change, and what you do not want to see when the current system is replaced.

The 2015-17 state budget directs DHS to replace the existing long term care system (Family Care/IRIS) with an unknown and untested model.
