Families of Children with Complex Medical Needs: Your Voice Matters!
An important step has been taken toward creating medical childcare in Ohio! A bill, co-sponsored by Rep. Rachel Baker for Ohio and State Representative Cindy Abrams, seeks to bring much-needed services to families.
Easterseals Redwood’s President and CEO Pam Green and our amazing Children’s Services Director, Katrina Proud, recently testified before the Ohio legislature. Families from our Ft. Mitchell and Florence campuses shared their experiences with the life-changing impact of our medical childcare services. 
“It was an incredibly moving day, hearing first-hand from parents about the life-changing services they receive in our Northern Kentucky campuses. Families need us, and I am so grateful for the many ways our children’s services team lives our values: believe in people, joy, courage, inclusion, and curiosity.”
Join us in making this vision a reality for Ohio families. Together, we can ensure that every child receives the care they need to thrive.
