Pat Wiegand is the parent caregiver of two adult DD recipients, Casey and Jason, who depend upon CAP Waiver supports to keep her family together and maintain some small level of community involvement.
You may recognize their names from their May 22nd Arc video at the Coalition Rally or from the touching Family Stories video earlier this year.
Pat and her family reside in Senate District 9 and House District 18. Her children, Casey and Jason, receive services through Southeastern Regional MH/DD/SAS Services (SRMHC) LME.
