State Representative Nicole Klarides-Ditria (R‑105) was named as a 2024 Legislator of the Year by the membership of the Connecticut Association for Healthcare at Home.
The official announcement noted Rep. Klarides-Ditria’s “willingness to engage the House floor in the Legislative Intent Discussion around Sections 1 and 2 of Senate Bill 1 (that) was of vital importance to our home health providers in that it provided clarity on compliance intent when the language in the bill was quite stringent and challenging.”
“I’m pleased to know this legislation will provide stronger protections to both clients and home healthcare workers, and I want to thank my colleagues and industry advocates for working diligently and offering so much support to protect these incredibly important workers,” Rep. Klarides-Ditria, Ranking Member of the Public Health Committee said.
According to the group’s website, “the Connecticut Association for Healthcare at Home is the industry champion for quality, cost-effective home health, hospice & community-based solutions” and they “combine over 100 years of experience with 21st century technology to successfully coordinate, transition and manage people’s care within the community.”
This year, the Connecticut Association for Healthcare at Home also recognized State Rep. Cristin McCarthy-Vahey. The veteran legislators received their awards during the Association’s annual conference on Thursday October 24th at the Hartford Marriott Downtown.
