Northeast Ohio Healthcare Coalition Annual Conference

_{June 6, 2023}
Carington Park was a proud sponsor of the Northeast Ohio Healthcare Coalition Annual Conference alongside Champs Group Purchasing and Northwest Ambulance District. With the mission to enhance communication, information sharing and implement best practices between organizations, it speaks to our values as a company to help provide the best care and safety to our community.

We were even more excited to have our very own DON, Kelly Beatty, speak on the panel. She shared the importance of emergency management. She and the other panelists discussed how a comprehensive, well-documented emergency preparedness plan is critical for all organizations to ensure they are ready to address any potential incidents—from natural disasters to violent threats—to best protect those in their agencies and communities.



For those of you who don't know Kelly, she is the Director of Nursing at Carington Park and a Registered Nurse who has been serving our residents for the last 27 years. She also worked for the Ashtabula County Health Department as a contact tracer during the COVID-19 pandemic. Kelly chairs Carington Park’s Quality Assurance Performance Improvement Program and heads the Emergency Preparedness program. She is a PMT Instructor for Foundations Health Solutions and is a certified ALICE Instructor as well, empowering her staff to make informed decisions in the event of a critical life-threatening situation. She is an active member of the Ashtabula County Prevention Coalition, serves on the executive board of the Northeast Ohio Healthcare Coalition and is an active member of the Ashtabula County Public Health Action Team.

We are also very proud of our Administrator at Carington Park, Brandi Franklin, who was nominated and recognized as an individual who has made a significant and lasting impact on the field and practice of emergency preparedness. Brandi has been doing an excellent job at being our Administrator for almost three years.



Carington Park was honored to be a part of this informational discussion and contribute to the overall wellness of our community. Our Culture of Care runs deep not only within the facility but beyond our walls. Thank you for having us at the Northeast Ohio Healthcare Coalition Annual Conference!
