Renee Smith, an RN case manager for Ohio Health and Hospice, has been named a 2023 Frontline Honor Award by Home Health Care News. Smith has been recognized for her commitment, high performance, and dedication to providing exceptional experiences and results in the field of home health care.
In a recent interview with Home Health Care News, Smith shared insights into her career in the home health care industry. She began working as a Nursing Assistant (STNA) and was inspired to pursue further education to become a Registered Nurse (RN).
One of the most valuable lessons that Smith has learned since entering the industry is the importance of patient education. She believes that many people struggle with their health because of a lack of knowledge and understanding. By educating patients about medical conditions, symptoms, and disease management strategies, individuals can take a more active role in their own care.
Smith’s favorite part of her job is educating her patients. She believes that knowledge empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their health and well-being. He takes pride in helping his patients understand their conditions and how to effectively manage them.
Smith wants society to understand that working in healthcare requires emotional support from care providers like herself who invest significant time and effort in supporting patients on their health journeys, celebrating their successes, and offering empathy during difficult times.
The recognition of Smith as a Frontline Honors recipient is a testament to her commitment to delivering high-quality care and support to seniors requiring home health services. To learn more about the entire Frontline Honors Class of 2023, visit frontlinehonors.agingmedia.com/.
