A 70-year-old female who regularly walked 20 minutes a day received a free body fat and BMI test from Community Wellness.

5 Heritage Faith Eugene and Virginia Kettering had seen for themselves the incredible difference that a quality, spirituality-based approach to health and healing makes in people s lives. Charles F. Kettering had a vision for the use of innovative technology in everyday patient care in a community hospital setting. His son, Eugene Kettering and Eugene s wife, Virginia, set out to fulfill that vision by building a hospital as a living memorial to Charles Kettering s lifetime of work and achievement. Eugene and Virginia had seen for themselves the incredible difference that a quality, spirituality-based approach to health and healing makes in people s lives. During the polio epidemic of the 1950s, they witnessed inspiring care at Hinsdale Hospital near Chicago. Hinsdale was part of the health care mission of the Seventh-day Adventist church, incorporating Christian values at every level of service. When Eugene and Virginia set about the work of spearheading the creation of Kettering Memorial Hospital, they insisted that the Seventh-day Adventist Church operate the hospital. They fulfilled that vision in 1964 when the hospital doors opened. And the sacred work that started back then continues throughout Kettering Health Network today. Lonnie Melashenko, Spiritual Services leader, took Kettering Health Network s mission online in 2010 with a 13-part series called Healing Hope. The show highlighted issues of health and wellness in a Christian atmosphere. In our faith-based mission, it is our job to make the Lord s comforting words and presence as available as possible. Healing Hope An Online Message We decided to create a message that dealt with a variety of common health issues, that people could access whenever they felt they needed to hear it, said Melashenko. The shows are broken up into sections so current and potential patients can easily view them. Then the videos were placed on YouTube for easy access.

Melashenko continued, We pray for our patients whether we re at their bedsides or not Community Benefit Report 2010 Community Benefit Report 9

6 Plight of Eastern Ohio County Ignites Kind Spirit Generosity A feature story on the television program Dateline NBC inspired a nurse and her co-workers at Sycamore Medical Center. Dateline ran a feature on Lisa Roberts, a woman who runs a food pantry for 500 families in Athens County, said Linda Beringer, R.N. I just really felt for these poor people, then I told some of my co-workers and we decided to make this food pantry our Christmas family. Half of these families don t have running water, and so many of them are unemployed, Beringer added. It s not like they don t want to work...there just aren t any jobs. The plight of Athens County got worse on Sept. 17, when a tornado devastated the region. My co-workers supported this so much that my garage filled with material to send to Athens County. Donation boxes placed in the chapels across the Network, as well as the Administrative Support Building, gave roughly 7,000 employees a chance to help. Kettering Health Network employees responded and filled the boxes. All items were loaded on a truck and transported to Athens County on Nov. 8. When Linda contacted me about this I just had to help her, said Raul Concha, a chaplain at Sycamore Medical Center. It s sad to think about the conditions these poor people are dealing with as the holidays approach, but then it is always heartwarming to see how our employees rally to help people in need. I just really felt for these poor people, then I told some of my co-workers and we decided to make this food pantry our Christmas family. Linda Beringer, R.N. Kettering Health Network Generosity In Action Our employees are committed to keeping our community strong and vibrant.
