Accessing social services can be difficult in a large rural county such as Delaware County, NY. This is particularly so when the otherwise excellent one-stop social service organization is located 45 minutes to an hour away from those who need to explore and access social services and there is no public transportation. Robin Williams, Program Coordinator for The Hubb on Main (Main Street, Margaretville, NY) talks with HealthCetera host Diana Mason about how The Hubb is serving as a bridge to social services for those in need. This interview first aired on HealthCetera in the Catskills on WIOX Radio on April 24, 2024.
