Coordinator, Agricultural Health, Grady Memorial Hospital, Delaware, OH
After losing a close friend in a farming accident, Fleming was deeply affected by other farmers’ complacency around farming-related injuries and deaths, and began a mission to educate and raise awareness about farming safety. A nurse and family farmer, her programs range from training EMS providers in special farm circumstances like tractor overturns and pesticide exposures to providing low-cost farm first aid kits to farms across Ohio.
