The Ohio Senior Citizens Hall of Fame honors older Ohioans for the vital role they play in society. Individuals selected for induction embody the productivity and enjoyment that should be a part of every person's retirement years.

The Elder Caregiver Award symbolically honors the thousands of Ohio caregivers who lovingly take care of family and friends day after day.

Presenters: Bonnie Kantor-Burman - Director, Ohio Department of Aging, and Suzanne Burke - CEO, Council on Aging of Southwestern Ohio; and President, Ohio Association of Area Agencies on Aging.
