Leading organizations like LogistiCare understand that they must prioritize safety at every level of decision making,” said NSC President and CEO Lorraine Martin. “We are proud to honor each of the nominees and our incredible winners, all of whom are committed to working alongside NSC to eliminate preventable deaths.”
