Beth is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati and has worked in the medical implant industry leading organizations in introducing new technologies to clinicians and patients.  She has trained physicians and other healthcare workers in learning new technologies, procedures and therapies. She's worked closely with the Neurologists and Neurosurgeons in the Tri-state area for several years and supported many patient events and symposiums.  She has a close friend and cousin who is a stroke survivor and is passionate about helping patients with brain aneurysms and their caregivers.  She is a mother of two teenage children.

Donna is employed with the State of Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation as a training officer. She trains the claims staff on the computer software, BWC policies, the Ohio laws and resolutions pertaining to workers’ compensation. Prior to this she was a workers’ compensation paralegal at a law firm in Dayton representing injured workers for 15 years.

Donna is the wife of a stroke survivor and his caregiver. Her husband David suffered a massive left sided stroke at the age of 51 in 2016.  Due to David’s young age, there was not much help to be given from their insurance company when it came to going home because he needed equipment, in-home aides and nurses. She knew it could be done and knocked on the doors of every social agency in her county until she found the Ohio Home Care Waiver Act. The Waiver is designed for people under the age of 60 not born with a developmental disability. The Waiver program has allowed Donna to continue her full-time employment while David gets the assistance he needs.

Because of their experiences with therapists, hospitals, state and county agencies, Donna is passionate about helping others learn how to find the help they need.
