Senator Portman Visits Healing Hearts


In early January, Senator Rob Portman visited OSDC Borrower, Healing Hearts Counseling Center, LLC, in Mansfield, Ohio. Executive Director, Maja-lisa Anderson Lee, and VP of Operations, DeWayne Lee, reviewed with the Senator the treatment programs Healing Hearts provides to individuals affected by the growing heroin and opioid epidemic.

 

Senator Portman discussed measures he’s supported aimed at aiding recovery and stopping the traffic of dangerous synthetic drugs such as fentanyl, namely the Comprehensive Addiction & Recovery Act (CARA) and the Synthetics Trafficking & Overdose Prevention (STOP) Act.

 

In 2017, Maja-lisa and DeWayne Lee purchased the building at 680 Park Avenue West in Mansfield, Ohio to allow for the expansion of Healing Heart’s group therapy programs. Richland Bank partnered with Ohio Statewide Development Corporation to provide the financing for the building acquisition.
