Senator Morano Named a Hero to Ohio’s Home Care Community


Columbus – The Ohio Council for Home Care and Hospice (OCHCH) will present State Senator Sue Morano (D-Lorain) with a Home Care and Hospice Hero Award today for her service to Ohio’s home care and hospice community. The award will be given this evening during the Ohio Council for Home Care and Hospice legislative reception in the downtown Hyatt Regency Fairfield Room.

“It is an honor to be recognized by such a dedicated group of practitioners,” Senator Morano said. “As I receive this award, I want to say the true heroes are those in the field who commit themselves everyday to improving the health and well being of Ohio’s most vulnerable citizens.”

The Home Care and Hospice Hero Award was established by OCHCH to recognize government officials who work to help Ohioans of all ages receive much needed care in their homes.

Late last year, Governor Ted Strickland signed Senator Sue Morano’s bill (SB 89), addressing a critical shortage of nursing educators in Ohio. In addition to her duties as a State Senator, Sue Morano is also a Registered Nurse who works 3 nights a month in the Intensive Care Unit at Community Health Partners Hospital in Lorain.

The Annual Ohio Council for Home Care and Hospice Conference will be held this evening, September 14, from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM in the Hyatt Regency Fairfield Room (350 North High Street, Columbus). OCHCH has arranged for photo opportunities at the event.
