Manning Participates in Press Conference to Celebrate Ohio-Based International Children's Hospitals' Patient Safety Efforts

COLUMBUS—State Representative Gayle Manning (R-North Ridgeville) was glad to participate in a press conference in honor of the Children’s Hospitals’ Solutions for Patient Safety’s (SPS) recent announcement that it has spared more than 30,109 children from serious harm since its inception.

The Ohio-founded international pediatric patient and employee safety effort launched in 2009 at the Ohio Statehouse. Since then, the collaborative partnership has grown from eight original members to more than 150 hospitals in North America, all dedicated to sharing data and working together to eliminate serious safety events in hospitals.

“I applaud the collaborative effort over the past 16 years to improve hospital safety and ultimately the wellbeing of Ohio children,” said Manning. 

Manning participated alongside Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, State Senator Bill Reineke, advocates and hospital leaders from the SPS, and Pat Tiberi, President and CEO of the Ohio Business Roundtable.
