Hello everyone,

I hope your day is going well.

Below is a link to a Columbus Dispatch article about a development in the DRO Lawsuit.

This is a potentially significant development and an important step in recognizing the important role that Intermediate Care Facilities play in our system.

I spoke with Director Davis yesterday and offered our assistance as DODD takes a fresh look at the settlement.  I will be reaching out to you, our members, to gather your ideas about ensuring ICF’s are recognized as an essential option for the people who would benefit from the specialized services that ICF’s offer.

Thank you for your time and have a great day!
