Introducing Wexner Home Care
In an effort to better communicate the nature of the in-home healthcare and geriatric care management services Wexner Heritage Village provides, both of these functions will now operate as new entity, Wexner Home Care.
"We believe the new name better describes the services we provide and embraces the entire continuum of care available through Wexner Heritage Village," said Nisha Hammel, WHV's Senior Vice President of Operations. "And while our name has changed, our commitment to providing superior healthcare and services has not. In fact, the change to Wexner Home Care is an affirmation of our dedication to ensuring older adults receive the best possible care, delivered in a fashion that positively impacts their quality of life."
Erin Keller, LISW-S, CCM, has been tapped to lead Wexner Home Care as Executive Director of Care Coordination. Keller has many years of senior healthcare experience, most recently as WHV's Director of Resident and Family Services.
"WHV's in-home care and geriatric care management teams have always worked together," Hammel said. "But joining them under a singer leader will create a seamless experience for our patients and their families." Hammel said.

In Christy's Shoes Commits to Support Zusman Hospice
Benefactor In Christy's Shoes has announced plans to more than double the amount it has donated to Wexner Heritage Village's Zusman Hospice since its founding in 2009.
This year, the organization gave $15,000 to Zusman Hospice, bringing its total contributions to date to $45,000. But what is perhaps more significant, WHV president and CEO David Rosen said, is the organization's commitment to raising another $50,000 over the next five years.
"We genuinely cherish long-term relationships like the one we have with In Christy's Shoes," Rosen said. "This is an organization born out of the hospice experience, which makes this commitment that much more meaningful."
In Christy's Shoes was founded in 2009 by Katrina Levy Zidel in memory of her twin sister, Christy Levy Peters, who was a Zusman Hospice patient for six months before succumbing to brain cancer at age 34. Donations from the organization support care for patients and their families in the home and at Zusman House, the hospice's five-bed, in-patient unit on the campus of Wexner Heritage Village.
