Soyland Access Independent Living, or SAIL, has 23 independent living centers across the state of Illinois, but those programs aren’t just for the elderly.

Betty Watkins is the Rural Outreach Coordinator for SAIL. She says she started at SAIL to make sure people know they have help for many different health issues.

There are many services SAIL provides through state money. Watkins says one of those programs, for people ages 18 to 59, is the community reintegration program.

Watkins appeared as a guest on the Newstalk WTIM Morning Show live from our downtown Shelbyville studios.
