Over the past 100 years, Mary Rutan Hospital has seen many changes – and 2018was no different.

Most notable for 2018 is the Mary Rutan Health Center, which opened early in theyear, providing our community’s first full-service, seven-day-a-week urgent carecenter. The Health Center also is home to our region’s most complete andadvanced selection of therapy services, our state-of-the-art sports medicine facility,comprehensive occupational health services, and on-site laboratory, x-ray andpharmacy.

And already in 2019 – Mary Rutan’s 100th anniversary year – we have opened ournewest regional clinic, the Mary Rutan Hospital Indian Lake Clinic (see Page 12).Plus, we launched the innovative MRH Disease Management Clinic, which helpspeople manage chronic conditions, improve their health and quality of life, andreduce their use of health care services and the associated expenses (Page 12).

Among all the changes that Mary Rutan Hospital has seen since 1919 (read areview of MRH history beginning on Page 3), one constant remains. That is theenduring commitment of generations of our physicians, nurses, staff, volunteersand directors to the health care and wellness of our community.

My fellow MRH team members and I are humbled by the trust that generations offamilies have placed in Mary Rutan Hospital. While we have been honored toreceive numerous awards from national health care organizations for the quality ofthe care we provide, we consider our community’s trust to be our greatest mark ofsuccess.

We also cherish the collaborative partnerships we have established and maintainedover the years with organizations that share our concern for the health of ourcommunity. These alliances have enabled us to better understand and provide forthe needs of local residents.

Thanks to our dedicated physicians, staff, volunteers, Board of Directors, patientsand community partners, we are positioned to begin our next century of caringstronger than ever – committed to remaining an independent, community-mindedhealth care provider.

2019 marks an incredible milestone for Mary Rutan Hospital –our 100-year anniversary!

We have a history to be proud of – as one of a select few Ohiohealth care providers to maintain our status as anindependent, stand-alone community hospital. And after all

these years, Mary Rutan Hospital continues to provide our community access to a growing networkof top-level health care facilities, services and specialists.

Mary Rutan Hospital opened in 1919 as a 25-bed, two-floor hospital, thanks to the generosity of Mrs.Rebecca R. Rutan Williams. Mrs. Williams, the only child of William and Mary Magruder Rutan, was aprominent Bellefontaine citizen and land owner.

She deeded an 880-acre Ridgeway area farm to the City of Bellefontaine – and proceeds from thesale of that farm were used to build the hospital.

Mrs. Williams’ only request: that the hospital be named in memory of her mother, Mary Rutan.

Since then, Mary Rutan Hospital has completed numerous expansions, each time adding to thehealth care services offered to the community.

“We are fortunate that many individuals and organizations have followed Mrs. Williams’ example,partnering with us to help expand the range of health care services that Mary Rutan Hospitalprovides,” says President & CEO Mandy Goble. “Logan County is an exceptionally generous andcaring community.”

She adds, “The partnerships and collaborative efforts of many throughout the community havestrengthened our organization and helped us gain a clear understanding of the health care andwellness needs of local residents – so that we can better provide for them.”

Today, Mary Rutan Hospital is a leading not-for-profit health care organization that provides anintegrated system of inpatient, outpatient and community services to meet the health andwellness needs of all members of the community.

The recent opening of the Mary Rutan Hospital Indian Lake Clinic brings our total off-site locationsto 15 in our four-county region – Logan, Champaign, Hardin and Shelby. Mary Rutan Hospitalteam members deliver award-winning services that are recognized by patients and their families,as well as independent organizations that rank the hospital among the best.

Chris and Kristy Daniels of Bellefontaine had twochildren – son, Carter and daughter, Georgia.But they felt their family was not yet complete.

Repeated miscarriages left them wracked withdisappointment. Emotionally spent, they beganexploring alternative options. This includedsurrogate pregnancy – having a surrogate mothercarry their baby. In February 2013, the Daniels’ story took anunexpected turn when Kristy’s friend Colleen Bodincasually mentioned: “I’m thinking about becominga surrogate.” “This came from out of the blue,” Kristy remembers.Kristy hadn’t talked with Colleen much about thecouple’s private desperation. And Colleen hadn’tpreviously shared her plans with Kristy. Colleen firstconsidered serving as a surrogate after the birth ofher and husband John’s third child, Brooks, now 7.After talking with John, she approached herOB/GYN, Jay Meyer, M.D., about the possibility.

Dr. Meyer had also delivered the Bodins’ two otherchildren at Mary Rutan Hospital – Winifred (Winnie),now 11, and Charlotte (Lottie), now 9. She explains why she was interested in becoming asurrogate: “I loved being pregnant, and I never hadproblems. I carried full-term.” In addition, Colleen had a relative who was havingdifficulty getting pregnant. Watching othersstruggle with pregnancy, when carrying a baby wasrelatively easy for her, convinced Colleen to applywith a surrogacy agency.Kristy mentioned Colleen’s intentions to hermother, who said, “God is telling you to ask her (toserve as her surrogate). There are not many peopleyou could trust to do this. You just have to ask herto do this for you.”

The Start of Something SpecialKristy and Colleen had become fast friends notlong after Kristy and Chris, who own BriarwoodSporting Club, moved to Bellefontaine in 2008.They got to know one another while their kids(Colleen’s Winnie and Lottie and Kristy’s Carter andGeorgia) took swim lessons at the Hilliker YMCAand participated in gymnastics.Their friendship grew as they began co-teachingZumba at the Y. Colleen, a high school guidancecounselor at Indian Lake Schools at the time andnow principal at Benjamin Logan ElementarySchool, and John, an attorney with Thompson,Dunlap and Heydinger, joined Briarwood.After Colleen’s revelation, their relationship begandeveloping on a deeper level. They startedexploring the possibility of Colleen serving as theDaniels’ surrogate.Chris was initially wary of the idea of surrogacy –primarily with the thought of entering anagreement with someone they might meet for thefirst time through an agency.“No way would I allow someone I don’t know andtrust to deliver my baby,” she recalls him saying.But the wariness subsided when they beganputting a familiar and trusted face to theirdeliberations for and against surrogacy.Besides being a good friend, Colleen was “theperfect candidate,” Kristy said. “She exercises, shetakes great care of herself. She was on the treadmillthree miles a day right up to all of her deliveries.”And Kristy’s OB/GYN gave her a vote of confidenceas being a good candidate for in vitro fertilizationand surrogacy.Colleen was in it from the start. She says, “It wasdifficult to see Kristy and Chris go through this.They’re such a great couple and fantastic parents.”She adds, “It just feels this was very much whatwas meant to be. We’re so close, and our kids areso close. This just seemed so easy and natural.”When they decided to move forward with theplan, the two couples worked as a team. Kristy saidthat she and Colleen “went totally medical,”attending to all the health-related issues. WithJohn’s legal expertise, their husbands took care ofthe business side of the arrangement, going“totally legal.”When they consulted with a lawyer to make thearrangements, Colleen recalls, “The attorney saidthis was the easiest thing ever, that we had it allfigured out.”

Shared ExpectationsTwo of Kristy’s eggs, which had been fertilizedthrough in vitro fertilization (IVF), were implantedin Colleen. As a gestational surrogate, Colleenwould have no genetic ties to any baby resultingfrom the pregnancy. The baby - or - babies wouldcarry Chris and Kristy’s genes.

SPECIAL DELIVERYA Surrogate Mother Took Friendship to the Next Levelby Delivering Twins at Mary Rutan Hospital

This spring, two specialfive-year-olds areregistering forkindergarten at BenjaminLogan Elementary School.Here’s the story of howthey came to be. Andhow friendship conqueredheartache, bringing newlife and a strong bondbetween two families.And how Mary RutanHospital is honored tohave had a role.

Kristy Daniels, left, with her twins,daughter Chandler and son Chase,and friend Colleen Bodin, who tooktheir friendship to the next level.Colleen carried and delivered thetwins five years ago at Mary RutanHospital and will be their principalwhen they enter school in August atBenjamin Logan Elementary.

MARY RUTAN HOSPITAL | 2018 COMMUNITY REPORT | WWW.MARYRUTAN.ORG 10

At the same time, Kristy was also implanted withtwo of her own fertilized eggs. To help promotepregnancy, Kristy and Colleen each gave the othershots of progesterone. They continued to exercisetogether at the local Y and pray together that one,some, or all of the implanted eggs would result ingrowing the Daniels’ family.One morning while at the dentist office Kristy gota disappointing phone call, that she was notpregnant. However, her dismay was followed byexcitement when Colleen called with news thatshe was pregnant. The excitement doubled laterwhen they all learned Colleen was carrying twins!This pregnancy was a shared experience for many.“Our friends, our families were all very supportive,”Kristy said.Throughout the pregnancy, Kristy brought food tothe Bodins and provided Colleen maternityclothing – and ice cream. Colleen’s own childrenenjoyed feeling the babies kick and even read tothem as they grew in utero.

The DeliveryBecause of Colleen’s favorable experiencesdelivering her three children at Mary RutanHospital, Kristy supported her desire to have thetwins delivered there, too.Colleen said, “Dr. Meyer is a hero. He and the nursesat Mary Rutan Hospital made this all go so well.”And that included how he helped her and thetwins survive a scare 20 weeks into the pregnancy.Colleen’s son, Brooks, then 2 years old, jumped offthe back of a couch and took an accidental spillonto Colleen’s abdomen. The impact hurt, andColleen began bleeding.Dr. Meyer met them at the MRH EmergencyDepartment, where she was diagnosed withplacental abruption, a partial separation of theplacenta from the uterine lining. Dr. Meyerprescribed bed rest and kept a close watch onColleen and the babies through the rest of herpregnancy.Dr. Meyer maintained his hero status right throughthe delivery, at a little more than 36 weeks into

Colleen’s pregnancy, on May 19, 2014.Prior to the delivery, Colleen shared her concernswith Dr. Meyer: “I wouldn’t be coming home withbabies, but I already had three kids at home. Ididn’t want a C-section. I think he heard me – heunderstood my greatest fear.”Yet, one of the twins was positioned breach,complicating the delivery. Dr. Meyers, however,was able to reposition the baby for a normaldelivery.Kristy and Chris’s new daughter, Chandler, was thefirst to arrive. Their son, Chase, true to his name,followed.But his breathing concerned the delivery team.Arrangements were made to take him toNationwide Children’s Hospital. His conditionquickly improved, though, and he stayed at MaryRutan, until he and Chandler went home withKristy and Chris.Chris’s mother, from Tampa, Florida, was there towitness the joyous occasion and said of theexperience at Mary Rutan: “This is the best, mostattentive staff.”

And There’s More...“When the twins were six months old and crawlingaround,” says Kristy, she and Chris had a surpriseannouncement to make: She was pregnant. OnSeptember 24, 2015, Gracyn was born, bringingthe total of Daniels children to five.“We really wanted one more child and ended upwith three. God definitely has a sense of humor. It’salmost like having triplets, they’re so close,” Kristyjokes.Next fall the twins start kindergarten at BenjaminLogan Elementary, where Colleen is principal.“I’m just so tickled they’ll be in your school,” Kristytells Colleen. And Colleen is happy to be helpingthem grow once again.Dr. Meyers has grandchildren who attendBenjamin Logan Elementary. Colleen says, “He stillgets a Christmas card every year from our family.We just think the world of him. He’s one amazingdoctor.” n

After the special delivery of Chrisand Kristy Daniels’ twins, Chandlerand Chase, Kristy watches over hernewborns as they’re cared for byMary Rutan Hospital nurses KarenAldo and Sally Harshbarger.

In 1964, Nina McPherson waseager to join the workforce.However, this notion was

unfavorable with her husband,so she chose to volunteer andbecame a member of the MaryRutan Hospital Auxiliary Guild.In her early days, Nina was theGreeting Card Chairperson andresponsible for making weights,by hand, for physical therapypatients. Today, Nina is anintegral part of the Patient CareService area and is responsiblefor reviewing requireddocuments and talking with allnew patients admitted to thehospital.Taking time with patients iswhat Nina enjoys most.Regardless the length of visit,Nina is never in a hurry to cuther time short, if a patient iseager to talk. She told a story ofan older woman who had all butgiven up. As with all patients,Nina listened and offered wordsof encouragement. Frequentlyshe will offer a prayer if thepatient asks. The next day, thepatient’s daughter stopped Ninato thank her. The daughterstated, “I don’t know what yousaid to my mother, but herwhole attitude toward herhealth and life is so much better.It’s because of you.” Nina claimsshe has no idea what she mayhave said but commented,“Whatever I said, I was glad Icould help. Maybe Godintervened.” Nina carries a prayercard in the pocket of hervolunteer smock. It is a prayerfor being a good listener.Whenever she enters a patientroom, she hopes that is a giftshe is able to offer. Enjoying the responses, Ninafrequently asks patients, “What’sthe most important thing inlife?” “To smile,” a 94-year old patientexclaimed, one day. Thegentleman assured Nina thatthis simple gesture can brightena person’s day. Since then, Ninahas taken that advice to heart.No matter the situation, you willalways see her wearing abeautiful smile as she goesabout her work at the hospital.

During her years of service, Ninahas seen a lot of changesthroughout Mary RutanHospital. She credits manypositive strategies to Mr. EwingCrawfis, past president/CEO ofMary Rutan Hospital. “At thetime, he turned the organizationaround.” Another worthy praisewas for Jim Schwind, director ofthe Care CoordinationDepartment, who Nina honorswith being a great mentor andsomeone who is alwaysencouraging. Nina summarized hermotivation to volunteer with,“The work is very rewarding andinteresting. The people of LoganCounty are such great peopleand often remark how friendlythe hospital is. I really enjoyworking here or I wouldn’t havedone it for 55 years!” Today, the Guild roster has 95members who provide dailyassistance in nine differentservice areas throughout threedifferent buildings. In 2018,these members provided 9,200hours of volunteer time to theorganization. Of these hours,608 were from 20 newvolunteers.

This group reviewed the findings of theassessment, selected priority areas, began toplan strategies to address the identifiedpriorities and assigned the priorities to one ofthe area coalitions for ongoing action andmonitoring.

The priority areas identified include:• Obesity and Overweight• Substance Abuse• Mental Health• Maltreatment of Children• Awareness/Access to Resources• Housing and Homelessness• Workforce Development/ Readiness

THE VISERA 4K UHD SYSTEM allows our team to: • View ultra-high-resolutionimages to help identify finepatterns and anatomicalstructures

• Have additional light toilluminate bleeding in surgicalfields, visualize deep surgicalcavities, and enhance theendoscopic viewing experience

• See more vivid shades of redand yellow for bettervisualization, allowing oursurgeons to observe finepatterns and structures withhigh precision, higher contrastlevels and more detail tosupport greater accuracy

Wecongratulate the clinicians, board, managementand staff at Mary Rutan Hospital for showing thecountry what it means to put patients first.” In assigning A, B, C, D and F grades to more than2,600 U.S. hospitals, the Leapfrog Hospital Safety

Grade program uses 27publicly available, peer-reviewed hospital safetymeasures chosen andanalyzed by a panel of toppatient safety experts. “Our primary focus is toachieve the highest levelof safety and quality carefor our patients.
