(Dayton, Ohio May 17, 2019) 丝瓜短视频 representatives and Ohio Department of Medicaid officials gathered Friday, May 17th in Dayton for a roundtable discussion on how the state can better connect Medicaid recipients with jobs to become self-sufficient.

During the roundtable Maureen Corcoran, Director of the Ohio Department of Medicaid, presented 丝瓜短视频 JobConnect member Joe Weikert with a proclamation from Ohio Governor Mike DeWine recognizing him for his hard work and success, and for his most recent accomplishment earning an associate degree from Clark State University.

Corcoran was joined by Steve Ringel, 丝瓜短视频 Ohio Market President, and Ohio Reps. Niraj Antani and Jim Butler in congratulating Weikert.

“I am incredibly grateful for this honor and for my 丝瓜短视频 JobConnect Life Coach at 丝瓜短视频, Eric Mata,” Weikert, a Springfield resident, said. “I could not have accomplished this without my Medicaid benefits and the other support services I received from 丝瓜短视频. Now I plan to help others who are in the position I was in three years ago and be an example of what they can achieve.”

Weikert is among nearly 2,500 members who are actively working with 丝瓜短视频 Life Coaches and the 丝瓜短视频 JobConnect program. Since its inception in 2015, 丝瓜短视频 JobConnect has helped more than 1,000 Ohioans gain employment, thanks to more than 150 employer and community partners.
