Meridian HealthCare’s Dr. Michael Cafaro Appointed to Ohio Governor’s Radiation Advisory Council

Youngstown, OH – Dr. Michael J. Cafaro, Director of Occupational Health and Chiropractic at Meridian HealthCare, has been appointed to the State of Ohio’s Radiation Advisory Council by Governor Mike DeWine.

Initially considered to be an alternate, Dr. Cafaro was selected for a full appointment in recognition of his extensive career accomplishments and dedication to advancing chiropractic care. In this position, he will represent the chiropractic profession in discussions about radiology standards in practice across the state.

“Being appointed to the Radiation Advisory Council is both an honor and a responsibility,” said Dr. Cafaro. “I look forward to representing the chiropractic field and ensuring high standards that support safe, effective patient care. I believe this recognition also reflects the great work being done at Meridian HealthCare to integrate chiropractic into whole-person health.”

In addition to this state-level appointment, Dr. Cafaro was also unanimously elected by the Chiro Congress board to serve as District 2 Director. Chiro Congress is a national organization that unites state chiropractic associations to protect, promote, and advance the profession nationwide.

These roles are in addition to Dr. Cafaro’s ongoing work at Meridian HealthCare, as they will help elevate his leadership at both state and national levels while strengthening Meridian’s commitment to advancing non-medicated pain relief and evidence-based care.

“Dr. Cafaro’s appointments are a testament to his expertise, leadership, and dedication to the chiropractic profession,” added Larry Moliterno, President and CEO of Meridian HealthCare. “We are proud to have him represent Meridian and the state of Ohio in shaping chiropractic care for the future.”
