Susan McKinley, Social Worker
“I appreciate the Governor being so concerned about the welfare of the people of our state and I hope that translates to taking care of all our state’s citizens. But how do we take care of our citizens if government is cutting the services they depend on us to provide?”

Susan McKinley, Social Worker, Connecticut Valley Hospital
Susan McKinley is a social worker in the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, working at Connecticut Valley Hospital in Middletown.
Everyone agrees we have an obligation to provide proper care for our state’s most vulnerable populations — young children, senior citizens, the disabled and the mentally ill. Even when they economy is tough, we can’t ask those groups to fend for themselves.
But if we’re really as committed to our children, to our parents and granparents, and to the disabled as as we say, we shouldn’t allow the programs they depend on to disappear.
They’re too important.
