The renaming of this segment, now known as the Dr. Jean Griswold Memorial Highway, is a result of the approved Pennsylvania House Bill 2295.

She was a true visionary in the industry, and it is great that the legislature found a way to recognize her life and accomplishments.”A ceremony took place on April 27, 2023, to mark the occasion, introduced by Representative Mary Jo Daley (D-148) of the Pennsylvania State House of Representatives. The event, held outside of the VEVA Building in Blue Bell, saw attendees from the Griswold family, staff and the executive team, including&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-slupecki-08b2288?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=senior-lifestyle-magazine-griswold-celebrates-the-dedication-of-a-memorial-highway-in-honor-of-late-founder-dr-jean-griswold-2722828" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">CEO Mike Slupecki</a>, alongside local government officials such as Sen. Maria Collett and Rep. Greg Scott. The dedication coincides with the 40th anniversary of the Griswold company.Dr. Jean Griswold was a dedicated advocate for in-home care, driven to create her company after witnessing the death of an elderly woman in her community who lacked a support system for care. Despite living with multiple sclerosis, a condition that had left her wheelchair-bound, Dr. Jean Griswold utilized her connections to certified nursing assistants (CNAs) and students enrolled in nursing programs to establish one of the most successful non-medical home care organizations in the country. She continued to achieve notable milestones, earning various accolades for her work, and passed away in 2017 at the age of 86.Today, Dr. Jean Griswold's legacy continues to inspire and influence many, with over 170 independent Griswold franchise units operating across the country. The Jean Griswold Foundation, a non-profit arm of the organization, is set to award&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/griswold/griswold-celebrates-national-caregivers-day-with-plans-to-award-100000-in-nationwide-scholarships-to-caregivers-this-year-2721214">$100,000 in scholarships</a> this year to caregivers from across the country.
