Judge Park named Excellent Advocate by State Long-Term Care Ombudsman

The Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman recently presented its Excellent Advocate Award to Judge Dixie Park of Canton.

The agency says Park ensures that people served by Stark County’s probate court have a voice for their rights, independence, and dignity. She also ensures that guardians in her county are held to high ethical standards. 

Ohio’s Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman advocates for people receiving home care, assisted living, and nursing home care. The office presents the Excellent Advocate Award to those who demonstrate remarkable character in protecting the rights of long-term care consumers through advocacy, service, collaboration, process improvement, or other accomplishments.  

Park was presented the award and special commendation from Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine by retired State Long-Term Care Ombudsman Beverley Laubert and Regional Ombudsman Program Director Sam McCoy during a special meeting on Oct. 21 in Canton.
