On this West Virginia Morning, the Department of Human Services announced the hiring of West Virginia’s first statewide Intellectual and Developmental Disability (IDD) coordinator last month.

Appalachia Health News Reporter Emily Rice sat down with Susan File to discuss how she will assist residents with disabilities in her new role. Christina Mullins, commissioner for the state’s Bureau for Behavioral Health, also joined the conversation.

Plus, Pittsburgh-based public radio program The Allegheny Front brings us their latest story on solar panels, and the tax credits and rebates that many consumers are unaware of.
