GFWC LUTZ-LAND O’LAKES WOMAN’S CLUB is proud to announce the selection of its 1st Vice President Annette Bellingar as the “Ombudsman of the Year – 2017” by the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Council. Ms. Bellingar has been chosen for this honor by her Ombudsman peers for her dedication over the past 5 years to the needs of long-term care residents without a voice in raising awareness of their needs and concerns at their facilities. Annette is known for “going the extra distance” on behalf of those entrusted to her management care, for mentoring and inspiring new Ombudsman volunteers and challenging the ALF and nursing facilities to do better for their residents. Ms. Bellingar was presented with a keepsake clock commemorating her service by Ron Dickey, Vice Chair of West Central Florida Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program. Well Done and Congratulations, Annette!!
