The Ohio Association of Nonprofit Organizations (OANO) sponsors the Excellence Award to recognize the creativity, execution, achievement, and overall excellence of a specific project or program completed by an Ohio nonprofit the previous year. Providence House’s Parenting Education Program was selected as the 2008 Excellence Award winner in the Northern Ohio - Large Budget category. Other finalists in the category included Hospice of the Western Reserve and Community Assessment and Treatment Services. The Providence House team was recognized for their outstanding efforts during a luncheon at the Ohio Statehouse. The award-winning Parenting Education Program uniquely combines parent visitation, education and case management services in order to maximize participation and successful outcomes. The agency’s individualized, private parent education program, visitation with weekly family meal times, peer mentoring and streamlined case management were some of the elements that helped Providence House rise to the top over 100 other submissions.
