As cutbacks in programs and funding for health care and social services escalate at the federal level under the Trump Administration and Congress, the need for local action to support the most vulnerable among us in the Catskills is escalating, whether it be advising people on how to maintain their enrollment in Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or helping with housing assistance. Delaware Opportunities is a lifeline organization that provides such assistance to people in Delaware County. Dr. Shelly Bartow is the Executive Director of Delaware Opportunities and talked with HealthCetera host, Diana Mason, PhD, RN, about what she is seeing in terms of the need for services and the ability to meet these needs. This interview first aired on HealthCetera in the Catskills on WIOX Radio on June 10, 2026.
