South Dakota has seen many long-term care providers close their doors due to financial hardship.

This interview originally aired on In the Moment on SDPB Radio.

Long-term care advocates applauded Gov. Kristi Noem last December when her budget proposal included increased funding for Medicaid providers.

Tim Rave is the president and CEO of the South Dakota Association of Healthcare Organizations. He joins In the Moment with an update.
