Bill to Designate Ohio Nursing Assistants Week Passes Out of Committee

COLUMBUS- State Rep. Darnell T. Brewer (D-Cleveland) and joint sponsor Rep. Rachel Baker (D-Cincinnati) celebrated the unanimous passage of House Bill (HB) 188 out of Health Provider Services Committee. This legislation would designate the second full week in June as Ohio Nursing Assistants Week.

"Ohio's state tested nursing aides (STNA), direct care workers and others who dedicate their lives to the wellbeing of patients across Ohio deserve to be commended and recognized. We hope this bill will shine a light on the role of nursing assistants, STNA's and workers who are employed by hospitals and nursing homes and perform everyday living tasks for the elderly, chronically ill or rehabilitation patients who cannot care for themselves. This week showcases how invaluable they are to their patients' lives." said Rep. Brewer.
