Love & Hugs Celebrates Second Anniversary on March 9
A lot has happened in the two years since Emily Cammeyer decided to build and donate stuffed bears to Zusman Hospice patients and families as part of her preparations for becoming a Bat Mitzvah.
With the support of Cammeyer's family, grants and donations, the project quickly took on a life of its own and became the volunteer organization Love & Hugs for Zusman Hospice at Wexner Heritage Village. And in that short time, the organization's events - during which young adults from across Central Ohio learn about hospice care then build and clothe a bear in memory of a loved one - have generated more than 400 bears for Zusman Hospice.
On Sunday, March 9, from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm, Love & Hugs for Zusman Hospice will celebrate its second anniversary with a special bear-making event at Build-A-Bear Workshop at Easton. Learn more

Meet Bob Fish,  WHV Director of Training and Quality
|
Bob Fish knows a thing or two about what it means to be a leader in high-pressure situations.
As a registered nurse, Fish has cared for the critically ill onboard medevac flights, in hospital trauma departments and as an emergency nurse with a mobile intensive care unit. He has been a firefighter, paramedic and auxiliary police officer.
But it is his experience in the military, first as a U.S. Navy Reserve Hospital corpsman attached to a Marine Corps rifle company and then as a 1st Lieutenant with the 911 33rd Air Evacuation Squadron, that he says really honed his skills.
"I think the officer training really prepared me for what leadership is about and how to live your life with high character, as far as representing your position," Fish said. "I've taken so many life lessons from my experiences."
Now, as Wexner Heritage Village's Director of Training and Quality, Fish says he hopes to share what he has learned with other WHV associates and the community. Learn more
