Appropriations that we rely on for WCHS Operations (utilities, buildings, insurance, supplies, services and staff) have eroded primarily because of state cuts to Local Government Aid. This is happening to city and county government and is reflected in cuts to community services and organizations such as WCHS. You can help make a difference now.
