Dr. Judy Tansky

Dr. Janet Bay

The Fisher community gathered on October 6, 2017, to honor Judy, one of five business, community and educational leaders who received the college’s 2017 Alumni Awards. Congratulations to Dr. Janet Bay on her retirement! An Ohio State freshman at Mary Pomerene ASH in the Fall of 1966, Janet was soon elected House President, and in 1970 was honored by her housemates as the MP Woman of the Year! Coming full circle as the “outstanding ASH Girl” that she is, Dr. Bay returned to the 2017 ASH Annual Banquet and Woman of the Year Awards program as the keynote speaker. She spoke about “Daring Greatly,” as she certainly does.

After graduation and her time in ASH, Janet Bay received her Doctor of Medicine degree—cum laude—from The Ohio State University, followed by a surgical internship at the University of Michigan Medical Center. As Janet Bay, M.D., she completed a residency in neurology at New York University, and then a residency in neurosurgery at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. She was accredited by the American Board of Neurological Surgery in 1983, and certified as the 13th woman to practice neurosurgery in the United States, and the 2nd woman to practice neurosurgery in Ohio!

Dr. Bay remained on staff at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation for seven years, whre she was Head of Neuro-oncology and Assistant. Director of the Office of Professional Staff Affairs. Later, as a staff neurosurgeon at Riverside Methodist Hospital of Columbus, Dr. Bay was the first female medical staff president at Riverside, Chair of the Neuroscience Clinical Operations Council, and Physician Lead for the neuroscience clinical program. In 2011, Dr. Bay assumed a role as Vice President and Physician Lead for the OhioHealth Neuroscience program. Dr. Bay was deeply involved in the building of the OhioHealth Neuroscience Center, which opened in July of 2015, where she was the first to perform surgery in the iMRI Suite.As a top neurosurgeon she focused on the surgical illnesses of the brain, spine, and peripheral nerve, such as brain tumors, skull base surgery, and complex spine work, and spinal instrumentation. In a recent 10TV interview, Dr. Bay said that “her 45 years of practice have allowed her to experience a number of critical advancements, from the very first MRI’s to today’s brain imaging. ‘We have GPS devices in the operating room that will help us not only reach the part of the brain we want to get to but also go through the least damaging pathway to get there,’ she said.” Dr. Bay has authored many articles and papers throughout her very accomplished, history-making career, and she has been a Board Member of the National Parkinson’s Foundation since 2012, but Janet told the 10TV news reporter that she was now “looking forward to something new”.Congratulations Judy and Janet!

Alumnae and students met at Hanley House on Thursday, October 26, 2017, for dinner and a discussion of the Buckeye Book Community selection, Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption, by Bryan Stevenson. They were touched by the author’s comments as they watched the live-stream of his lecture in Mershon auditorium. Mr. Stevenson shared his story, that of persons in the book, and his belief that we have the power to change the world by fighting against fear and anger and getting proximate to those who are suffering; changing current narratives about children and race; remaining hopeful; and being willing to do things that are uncomfortable.
