Dr. Kathy Platoni inducted into Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame

Drs. Scurfield and Platoni literally “wrote the books” on war trauma. Their writings and those of multiple contributing experts in the field of war trauma, from both military and civilian sectors, address the specific needs of warrior communities, as well as wider issues such as battle-mind, reintegration and homecoming, survivor guilt, and military and Veteran suicides.

Platoni retired in the 2013 military drawdown, but continues to serve in the Ohio Military Reserve, a branch of the Ohio Army National Guard. With a focus on first-responders and veterans, she said she works seven days a week, 12 to 16 hours a day, serving 18 area police departments and 2 fire departments.

Veterans honored for their community service

Twenty military veterans were inducted Wednesday into the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame in recognition of their community service after the end of their military life.
