“We’re honored to be recognized as one of The Daily Record’s 2023 Health Care Heroes alongside so many incredible organizations and individuals that are making a positive impact on Maryland’s health care industry,” said Barb Clapp, Dwyer Workforce Development CEO. “By pairing our free health care career training and job placement with robust case management and wraparound services, we are providing a new paradigm for workforce training – eliminating barriers and creating paths toward life-changing careers for individuals who lack opportunity. As a result, DWD is filling crucial roles in Maryland’s senior health care industry and improving the lives of seniors in senior care facilities. We look forward to furthering our mission in Maryland – and beyond.”
