Four years after organizing a rally at the NYS Capital, Marcella Goheen joined Power & Politics on Thursday, discussing the state of nursing home care.

Goheen cares for her husband, who is in a nursing home, and was unable to provide that care during the pandemic. Her advocacy launched Essential Care Visitor, an organization which highlights the current conditions in nursing homes in New York State.

Her op-ed in the New York Times in 2021 prompted legislation which allowed caregivers back into in-person care.

Goheen attended Tuesday's House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic hearing, where former Governor Andrew Cuomo defended his nursing home decisions.
