COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - Whether it’s childcare, caring for an aging parent, or simply supporting a loved one with a disability, people across the state are feeling the strain as the cost of care continues to rise, leaving many with more questions than answers when it comes to meeting those needs.

A community conversation is taking place during the Care Crisis and Affordability of Care Town Hall on Thursday, July 30, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Orangeburg Conference Center.
