Never Alone Act H.B. 236 - No one should die alone because of government mandates

Never Alone Act H.B. 236 - No one should die alone because of government mandates During the COVID shutdown, hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living centers forced the elderly, infirmed, and those hospitalized into isolation without the support of family, loved ones, or clergy. At the time of the COVID shutdown, the Ohio Christian Alliance received numerous reports of medical neglect and isolation of those who were in hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living centers due to the state government mandate (under the health emergency). The effects of the shutdown were much greater than was the spread of COVID-19 itself. We received heart-wrenching stories of individuals whose family members died in hospitals and nursing facilities without anyone present with them to hold their hand or to give them comfort. Rep. Melanie Miller of the 67th  House District and Rep. Beth Lear of the 61st House District are co-sponsors of H. B. 236, the Never Alone Act. In this broadcast we hear proponent testimony by Reps Miller and Lear and expert testimony from Dr. Malek on the need for this legislation.  Call your state representatives and urge them to support the Never Alone Act, H.B. 236.  Read the bill at this link
