Health Care Heroes Award
The Child and Youth Law Project recently received one of Business First's
Health Care Hero Awards. The program is a joint project of
the Legal Aid Society of Columbus, Columbus Bar Foundation, and Nationwide
Children's Hospital. The Child and Youth Law Project secures medical and educational
benefits for poor and/or uninsured children; benefits that sometimes allow
a child to receive home health care treatment so he does not have to be institutionalized.
The Health Care Heroes Award honors those who have made an impact on health
care in our community through their concern for patients, research and inventions,
management skills, innovative programs for employees and service to the poor
and uninsured.
