Elevating the Post-Acute and
Long Term Care Profession

2022 OHCA Excellence Award Winners

Ohio's post-acute and long-term care providers employ over 80,000 professionals who care for more than 90,000 residents. These employees are the backbone of the post-acute care community, with facilities, agencies, and services relying on dedicated teamwork and skills to provide quality care and compassion to patients, individuals, and families. The Association's Convention Awards honor those who have excelled in delivering outstanding care in a cooperative spirit of teamwork.

Association members nominate individuals based on their knowledge of the candidates and selection criteria. Winners are selected by a team of judges comprised of long-term care professionals and associated individuals.

A special thanks go out to our sponsor McKesson and technical advisor Ceca Foundation for their support of our awards program. 

Our winners received a plaque, a $100 gift card, and a banner to display proudly outside their facility, showcasing that a 2022 Ohio Excellence Award winner works there. Please join in congratulating:
