ON THE COVER:
Blending the old and the new, the cover was inspired by the Dull
Homestead in Brookville, Ohio where six 120-foot wind turbines generate
energy to supplement power necessary to support the farm's operations.
The modern-style wind turbine is similar to one proposed for Good
Samaritan North Health Center. Ralph Dull consulted with Good
Samaritan staff for the wind energy portion of the Good Sam Community
Going Green article in this issue. Ralph and his wife, Christine, advocate
for a cleaner, safer world through the Future Energy and Conservation
Center located at the Dull Homestead where visitors are welcome to
learn more about alternative energy and environmental topics.

THE ROAD HOME:
One woman’s journey out of homelessness
By Shelly Reese
Brenda Osborn was homeless, desperate and depressed. Living at St. Vincent’s Homeless Shelter in downtown
Dayton, she contemplated suicide.“But
I couldn’t figure how to make it look like
an accident so the Lord wouldn’t know
what I had done,” she recalls.
Fortunately for Brenda, she wasn’t nearly as alone as
she felt. Recognizing her inner turmoil and anxiety,
St. Vincent’s staff referred Brenda to Sue Renner, a
counselor at the Samaritan Homeless Clinic.
The Samaritan Homeless Clinic is a resource designed to meet the myriad needs of the roughly
9,000 homeless people who each year live on the
streets of Dayton. The Clinic provides health and
wellness services, including medical, dental and vision care, psychiatric care, chemical dependency
counseling, social services, respite care, education
and life-skills classes.
Over the course of the next several months, Osborn
met weekly with Renner. Renner counseled her,
helped her obtain anti-anxiety medication, set up a
dental appointment for her and helped her get new
glasses. Through it all, Osborn says, Renner treated
her with respect and dignity. Most importantly, she
offered the support Osborn needed to change the
course of her life.
“Sue was wonderful,” she recalls. “She could see a
strength in me that I couldn’t see in myself.”
In time, Osborn came to understand that her problems didn’t really begin when she became disabled
with a back injury in 1991. For the first time, she acknowledged painful childhood memories of abuse and
neglect: experiences that opened the door to drug and
alcohol abuse. She recognized her homelessness as the
result of decades of bad decisions and vowed to work
to get herself out of her predicament.
“When I was on the street and I thought I was
a nothing, it was so important to have someone listen,” Osborn says simply. “I stopped
seeing myself as, ‘Poor Brenda,’ and started to
see myself the way she saw me: as someone
who was growing and taking charge of my life.”
Throughout her bout with homelessness, Osborn
worked doggedly to take control of her life. She pursued every job training opportunity homeless advocates and the Bureau of Vocational Redevelopment
offered and got her name on the waiting list for
public housing.
Six and a half months after she became homeless,
Osborn secured public housing and shortly thereafter began working toward her associate’s degree.
She began serving on the Samaritan Homeless
Clinic’s Advisory Committee as a client representative in 2005, but was forced to relinquish the role
when school responsibilities became too great.
Today, at 48, Osborn attends school four days a week
at Miami Jacobs Career College, where she maintains
a 4.0 grade point average. In June 2009 she will earn
an associate’s degree as a surgical scrub technician.
Looking back Osborn
calls her experience with
homelessness a blessing.
As she anticipates the
next chapter of her life,
she says she is able to
draw on the lessons she
learned. “I found that I
can do anything,” she
says, “by the grace of
God and with the help of
others. I just needed the
chance and the resources
I didn’t have.”

FAMILY-CENTERED HEALTHCARE AT HOME IN HUBER HEIGHTS
Good Samaritan Health Center – Huber Heights Opens
It was a frosty day on January 21, 2009 when a
Champagne brunch was held in the Life Center
of St. Peter Catholic Church prior to the opening
celebration of Good Samaritan Health Center –
Huber Heights. Donors and supporters of the
Huber Heights project shared their anticipation of
the long-awaited facility with Good Samaritan
Hospital President and CEO Mark Shaker while
the strings of Dayton Philharmonic Concertmaster Jessica Hung entertained the guests.
”We designed this facility like the medical center
where we would want to take our own families,"
Shaker later commented at the Huber Heights
facility. "The complete range of services offered
from pediatric care, Lifestages women's health
services, full-service imaging, diagnostics and lab
services, along with specialists in orthopedics, cardiac care, sports medicine and physical therapy
will keep our patients from driving all over the
region for their health care needs."
(l to r) Anita Adams, vice president operations, Good Samaritan Hospital; Barbara Johnson, vice president operations, Miami

Caring Threads Woven into the Community
FOUNDING FAMILY – MICHAEL J.GIBBONS
A
s vital as Michael J. Gibbons was to the original fundraising campaign for Good Samaritan
Hospital, it’s difficult for his daughter to pinpoint
that event on the philanthropic arc of his life.
“Good Samaritan was one of his great
interests in the city,” 94-year-old
Edith Catherine Gibbons Sachs says
from her retirement home in
Naples, Fla. “My father was involved in so many things. He
helped begin the Corpus
Christi parish as well as helping begin the Hospital.”
Because Gibbons family members were among Dayton’s earliest entrepreneurs, it was only
natural for Gibbons to know
John Q. Sherman, president of the
Standard Register Company. When
Sherman headed up the 10-day hospital campaign in the late 1920s, he tapped
Gibbons as vice chairman in charge of zone
(door-to-door) organization. In less than two
weeks, the Good Samaritan Hospital Fund Campaign Committee exceeded its $1 million goal by
$14,000, and Good Samaritan opened for patients
in 1932.

the age of 84.
With little education, her son Michael J.,
along with brothers-in-law McCormack and Ward, began work with
Brooks and Kemper plumbers and
pipefitters in 1866; he then created
his own plumbing and heating
business on East Third Street in
1875. He expanded the firm and
was the leading heating and
plumbing contractor in southwestern Ohio. He installed systems in such landmarks as the
Montgomery County Courthouse, Memorial Hall, the University of Dayton, National Cash
Register Co. and St. Elizabeth Hospital.
The Dayton Arcade of 1902, also known as
the Gibbons Arcade, was one of the most famous
Gibbons projects. The team of Michael J. Gibbons
and E. J. Barney commissioned the building, which
runs from Ludlow to Main Street between Third
Business success ran in the Gibbons family once
they left Ireland for America. “In Ireland, they
weren’t allowed to own land,” Sachs says of her
Catholic ancestors. “When they came here, they
wanted to be landowners."
Martin and Ellen Gibbons left Ireland in 1852 and
brought their family to the Elyria, Ohio area. Martin worked as a contractor, helping build the railroad between Cleveland and Sandusky. His son,
Sachs’ grandfather Michael Joseph Gibbons I, was
the first of the family to be born in the New World,
on Sept. 14, 1852. Michael J. was about a year old
when his father died.
In 1853, the widowed Ellen Gibbons brought her

and Fourth Streets. Frank Andrews, the architect
who had designed the National Cash Register
buildings, devised five interconnecting buildings
topped by a 70-foot glass-domed rotunda. For
decades, this permanent farmers’ market was one
of the highlights of shopping downtown. Recognized on the National Register of Historic Places,
the Arcade faced an uncertain future until recently.
The structure was purchased at auction on March
12 by Gunther Berg and Wendell Strutz under the
name Dayton Arcade LLC with plans for restoration, not renovation. Time will tell if the Berlinborn engineer and his finance and consulting
partner can capture and execute the
same vision that Gibbons and Barney had at the turn of the 20th century.
Gibbons also expanded other businesses, such as
the Algonquin Hotel, at Third and Ludlow Streets,
in 1918. His son, James F. Gibbons, president and
general manager of the Hotel Warner in Chillicothe, urged his father to buy the property. He renamed it Hotel Gibbons, and advertised it as
“absolutely fireproof,” with “service unequaled.”
December, 1918: Dayton industrialists and inventors, Charles Kettering,
Edward Deeds and Orville Wright met at the Hotel Gibbons for a
farewell dinner of their collaboration in the Dayton Wright Company.

As Gibbons’ business grew, so did his family − to
10 children. Michael Joseph Jr., Edith’s father,
took on the mantle of Senior upon his father’s
death. He graduated from MIT and wooed future bride Bertha Kemp. Kemp, descending from
a long line of Protestants, studied the Catholic
faith and became a Roman Catholic before their
marriage in June, 1907.
The younger Gibbons learned well his parents’ lessons of community spirit and philanthropy. In addition to managing the family businesses, he
became involved in the movement to create Cor-
The Gibbons family was instrumental in the formation of
Corpus Christi parish. "I was baptized at Corpus Christi,"
94-year-old Edith Catherine Sachs recalls.

pus Christi parish. The parish began in 1911, with
the Reverend John T. Gallagher as its first pastor.
The church opened its school the following year,
with three Sisters of Charity and one lay teacher.
Just a few years before Edith’s birth, the family had
survived the Dayton flood of 1913. She recounts
the family tale of her father paddling out the second-story window of their Riverdale home and
returning with food to assist stranded neighbors.
“When the flood hit, people just didn’t sit down
and do their own thing. They thought of others.”
After celebrating St. Patrick’s Day in 1967, Michael
J. Gibbons went to bed as usual. “I remember the
next morning at 10 o’clock, the maid said father
hadn’t come down to breakfast. I knew that was
bad news. So I went in and found him in bed.”
He’d died peacefully in his sleep.
“He was a good father, who came home and ate
with his family when he could,” Edith recalls
fondly. “He was a wonderful father…but much
was expected of us. He was a great role model."
Selected as a Knight of St. Gregory in 1955 by the
Pope, Michael J. Gibbons’ daughter adds almost as
a benediction,“He was a religious person."
Gathering a Lifetime of Family Stories
Edith Catherine Sachs, a resident of Naples,
Florida for the past 30 years, is a keen genealogist, masterfully pursuing the past and bringing
all the branches of her family tree up to date.
She has gathered a lifetime of family stories from
the 20th century back into history, tracing her
maternal line to American Revolutionaries, the
Pilgrims of Massachusetts Colony and, on the
other side of the Atlantic, to Charlemagne and
possibly even Lady Godiva.
EDITH CATHERINE SACHS WITH HER SON JOHN HOWARD SACHS, JR., IN 2008
“I had a book on the Cushman family; Robert Cushman was the business manager
for the Mayflower,” Edith says. Robert Cushman helped to secure permission
from the King of England to establish the colony in 1619. Then, he chartered
two ships: the famous MAYFLOWER and the not-so-famous SPEEDWELL.
Robert Cushman and his family were on the SPEEDWELL, which had to
turn back because of a leaking hull.
THE MAYFLOWER
“But an 11-year-old girl named Mary Allerton was on the Mayflower when
it arrived in Massachusetts in late 1620. She married Robert Cushman's son
Thomas, who arrived in 1621. They began an unbroken line of
Cushmans,” now in its 14th generation.
“My maternal grandmother’s name was Woodmansee, and Daniel
Woodmansee married Rachel Cushman of the Mayflower Cushmans." After proving her Cushman connection, Edith soon became an
active member of the Mayflower Society, descendants of the Pilgrims
who arrived in 1620 in then northern Virginia.
Edith is especially proud of her Catholic heritage mentioning her
grandfather’s first cousin, James Cardinal Gibbons, archbishop of Baltimore and the second American cardinal. Elevated to cardinal in 1886,
Gibbons grew in his role as spokesman for the Catholic Church in
America. A special friend to President Teddy Roosevelt, the press cov

something big was going on in this neighborhood,” says Margie Kuzia, president of the
Fairview Neighborhood Association.“It really
represents what’s taking place here.”
Laying the groundwork
In the five years since the Phoenix Project was
launched, Fairview has undergone massive
changes, Kuzia says.A neighborhood filled with
skeptics accustomed to empty promises and forgotten projects is now a neighborhood filled with
energized, committed residents.
“When they first started to talk about the
Phoenix Project, a lot of people felt like they’d
heard it all before,” she says.“Each time Good
Sam and the city delivered on what they said,
people here have gotten a little more involved
and felt a little more empowered. There’s really
been a change.”
The Gateway Project at Catalpa Drive and Salem Avenue is a
welcome greenscape for enjoying a relaxing break with nature.
Over the past five years the Phoenix Project, a
partnership between Good Samaritan Hospital
and the City of Dayton, has laid the groundwork
to revitalize the Fairview neighborhood surrounding Good Samaritan Hospital.This spring it
moves forward with an ambitious building campaign that includes a new elementary school and
33 single-family homes.
“I think the new gateway at Salem and Catalpa
was the first visible sign to the general public that
10
While the Phoenix Project includes major construction initiatives, the project isn’t about building structures: it’s about building a community.
That’s an important distinction, and one that explains Good Samaritan’s involvement, says Carol
Bauer, SC, the Hospital’s vice president of mission effectiveness.“Good Samaritan’s mission is to
create a healthier community; quality of life is an
important ingredient in a healthy community,”
she says.
In addition to enhancing the quality of life for
area residents, the Phoenix Project focuses on
providing social supports for families; strengthening the community’s civic infrastructure; encouraging home ownership; improving housing stock
and stimulating commercial development along
Salem Avenue.
In an effort to achieve those goals it has enhanced neighborhood safety by increasing police
patrols in the area, razed dozens of dilapidated
buildings, introduced structured after-school and
intersession programs for students and funded job
training and employment opportunities
for young people. It has issued mini-grants to
neighborhood
groups that have
sponsored cleanups, flower and mulch
giveaways, community garage sales,
and dozens of other meaningful projects.
These initiatives have had a dramatic impact not
just on the safety and appearance of the community, but also on its spirit, Kuzia says.

Neighbors spent the
day getting to know
each other and talking
about what they
could do to help improve their neighborhood.
“It made a positive impact,” says Kuzia.“Since
then we’ve seen more people trickle into our association meetings.”
Karen DeMasi, neighborhood life manager for
CityWide Development Corp. which manages the
Phoenix Project, has witnessed the same dynamic.
“The neighborhood has outstanding families who
have put a stake in the ground and said,‘Our neigborhood is worth fighting for.’ They’re committed
to the neigborhood and to each other – I think
that’s the sign of a strong neighborhood.”
A program on the move
Against this backdrop of energy, expectation and
commitment, Phoenix Project is launching an
ambitious building campaign.
This summer Dayton Public Schools plan to
begin constructing a new elementary school that
will become the heart of the neighborhood. The
school, slated to open in early 2011, will be located adjacent to the existing neighborhood
swimming pool and park, which will be upgraded to include a playground, splash park and
walking trail. In addition to providing a state-ofthe-art educational facility for pre-kindergarten
through eighth grade students, the school and
surrounding Fairview Commons recreation area,
will serve as a community resource. Area residents

to the school’s

loans to existing homeowners and down-payment assistance to encourage new homebuyers to
move into the neighborhood. Good Samaritan
offers additional down-payment assistance to employees who move to the neighborhood.
Good Sam employees participated in Rebuilding
Together – Dayton on April 25. Employee volunteers from Premier Health Partners came together to volunteer their time and sweat equity
to renovate a Phoenix Project home. This collaborative effort assisted individual homeowners
who could not have accomplished the scope of
the renovation work otherwise.
While Kuzia says she’s eager to see the bulldozers
12
and earthmovers get to work, she’s nearly as excited
when she sees a neighbor plant a flower box or
sprinkle a little grass seed.
“We are transforming our community from the inside out,” she says.“It’s not just the visible changes,
but the pride and the empowerment of the people
who live here.” Not long ago, Kuzia says, she was
walking through the neighborhood with a group of
association members when the postman stopped
them.“He said,‘I used to hate working in this neigh-
borhood, but I applied for this route for another two
years. This Phoenix Project is really working. The
old broken-down houses are coming down and
there have been such changes. I never thought it
would happen, but they’re really doing it.’” Kuzia
couldn’t agree more.

"THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A GOOD
SAM NURSE!"
“There is nothing like a Good Sam Nurse" was what everyone used to say according to the Class of
1958 Gift Committee letter to their classmates. Each year, the graduating class of the Good
Samaritan School of Nursing marks their 50 year-reunion by gathering for lunch and a tour of Good
Sam sponsored by Samaritan Health Foundation. "We had to see the Center for Nursing Excellence and Beachler
Nursing University to believe it. We believe it. Good Samaritan Hospital is again on the cutting edge of nursing
education." The letter goes on to say that a collective gift by the 1958 Class would help "create something the
world needs – more great nurses!"
On Saturday, April 27, 2008, 23 members of the 1958 class gathered in the Center of Nursing Excellence for a
luncheon. The classmates enjoyed a tour of the state-of-the art facility with a demonstration of the human simulators, Kacy and Phyllis. These simulators give nursing students an enhanced experience with lifelike heart and
respiratory sounds. The reunion concluded with a group photo in the lobby of the Beachler Nursing University.
The 1958 Class of the Good Samaritan School of Nursing challenged each other that "Several great projects are
just waiting for the help of philanthropic support to be put into action." To date the class has raised over $4,000.

The future of energy efficiency at Good Samaritan
North may involve a method from the past—a
wind turbine to generate electricity. Plans are currently underway for installation of a wind turbine
on the Good Samaritan North campus. The turbine will harness renewable wind energy to generate a portion of the electricity used at the
campus. This is not technology that is pie in the
sky − it is here and now. Aullwood Audubon Center and Farm, located just across the
Stillwater River from Good Samaritan
North, has endorsed their neighbor's
wind energy initiative.
Anita Adams, Good
Samaritan Hospital
Vice President of
Operations
A wind turbine captures the clean,
local, inexhaustible and free source of
kinetic energy and converts it into
electrical energy which can then be
used for services, such as lighting.
The average wind turbine today generates 2 to 5 megawatts per unit.
"'Money isn't all you're saving,'" Good Sam's Green
Team leader Bryant Heflin comments, echoing the
tagline of Energy Star promotional materials.
Heflin's Strategic Improvement team is driving
the green efforts at all Good Samaritan campuses.
"Leading by example in optimizing energy efficiency supports Good Sam's overall mission."
The wind turbine project has been selected as
one of the focus projects for Samaritan
Health Foundation's Employee Friends Campaign. If you would like to help us invest in
energy efficiency by supporting Good Samaritan Hospital’s wind turbine project at Good

In 2008 when gasoline prices soared well above
$4 a gallon, a group of Good Samaritan Hospital
leaders hearkened back to the lessons learned by
their Depression-era parents and decided to take
action against high energy costs.
Bryant Heflin, Consultant,
Strategic Improvement
‘“Money isn't all you're saving'
is the tagline of Energy Star
promotional materials. Leading the way to a healthier future through saving energy is
a focus of Good Sam through
education of our employees
and the community.”
At the helm of this organization-wide energy
management initiative is Anita Adams, Good
Samaritan Hospital vice president of operations,
along with Bryant Heflin and his strategic improvement team. Barbara Johnson, vice president
of operations at Good Samaritan, helped launch
the initiative prior to joining Miami Valley Hospital in March 2009.
The energy program’s goal is a 21st-century interpretation of Good Samaritan’s mission to build a
healthier community. Improving the environment
and reducing the Hospital’s carbon footprint is a
solution that will not only enhance the community ecosystem, but will also boost the hospital’s
fiscal health, enabling it to expand its services.
In a voice mail message to Good Sam employees on
October 20, 2008, Johnson outlined five main objectives for the new energy management program:
• Reduction of our current gas, electric and water
consumption
• Continue to make energy-efficient decisions for
all construction projects
• Educate employees and the community on the
"We all have a responsibility to save energy and develop greener alternatives

importance of energy management
• Initiate environmentally friendly practices
• Partner with Energy Star, a joint program
of the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency
and the U. S. Department of Energy.
Adams and her team selected Good Samaritan North Health Center to begin energy
conservation initiatives due to conservation
efforts already in place. “This was an opportunity to add horsepower to Good Sam
North’s existing efforts and build on their
conservation mindset,” Heflin explains.
After mobilizing an employee-driven energy
management team, Heflin directed energy
audits of each department at Good Sam
North. The team’s evaluations and recommendations for conservation led to a phased approach to
change:
• Behavioral change (simple action, no cost) such
as turning lights off and configuring computers for
energy savings
• Operational change (advanced action, minimal
investment) such as replacing conventional light
bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs
• Capital change (intensive action, major investment) such as high-tech, longer-term solutions
Phase 1: Baby Steps
Because phases 2 and 3 focus on longer-term solutions, the team zeroed in on promoting behavioral
“quick fixes.” Good Sam North staff members were
encouraged to turn lights off when not occupying a
room and to switch equipment off at night. These
directives resonated with many whose cost-conscious parents had drilled that lesson home when
they were children. Employees were eager and
ready to help —“as though they had been waiting

Good Samaritan North Health Center was selected as the
first campus to begin the energy conservation initiatives.

months, the efforts of these employees resulted
in a 5 percent reduction in electricity costs at
Good Samaritan North.

began to educate and motivate employees to
apply simple behavioral changes. Special events
and prizes for environmentally friendly practice
ideas infused fun into the campus-wide kick-off.

SINCE DECEMBER, 2008, 9,000 POUNDS OF PAPER
AT GOOD SAMARITAN HOSPITAL HAS BEEN RECYCLED.
THIS HAS SAVED: 70 TREES, 1,600 GALLONS OF OIL,
16 CUBIT YARDS OF LANDFILL SPACE, 35,000 GALLONS OF WATER AND 19,000 KWH OF ELECTRICITY.
There was no blarney on St. Patrick's Day when it
came to energy savings at the Dayton Heart and
Vascular Hospital campus. "Saving O' The Green"
was the theme of their March 17 launch of energy
conservation efforts. “A consolidated effort at all
campuses will serve to boost Good Samaritan

to actively recycle; Human Resources, Nutrition
Services, the Center for Nursing Excellence, The
Family Birthing Center and the second floor of the
Convent Building soon followed. All Good Sam
employees were encouraged to participate in the
recycling effort. The hospital’s recycling partner,
Abitibi, collects the paper from recycling bins located behind the parking garage and at the Internal Medicine Clinic at 3535 Salem Avenue. A
recycling bin placed at the Dayton Heart and Vascular Hospital on Edwin C. Moses Blvd. was the
third location to initiate paper recycling. The recycling proceeds of $15-$20 per ton benefit the
Samaritan Health Foundation’s fund supporting
Camp Samaritan, an annual weekend retreat for
cancer survivors.
Phase 3: Green Design
Good Samaritan laid the ground work for Phase 3
of its energy management initiative several years
ago when the hospital’s forward-thinking planners chose to incorporate energy efficiency and
“green” practices into the design and construction
of the new heart and vascular hospital. Regional
brick and stone, recycled glass, marble tile
and terrazzo, along with PVC (polyvinyl
chloride)-free linoleum, LED (light-emitting diode) lighting and low VOC (volatile
organic compound) paint contribute to the heart
and vascular hospital’s “green” profile.
A new kitchen at Good Samaritan incorporating
energy-saving design and equipment reduces the
hospital’s carbon footprint even more (see "Original 1930's Kitchen versus New, Lean and Green
Kitchen"). Nutrition Services plans to implement
Samaritan Health Foundation has adopted
the project of "greening" Seton Café for its
2009 and 2010 Employee Friends Campaign.
Design of an outside patio to expand the eating experience to the outdoors in nice
weather is currently in the works. More details will be available as the Employee Friends
Campaign is launched in May.
Denise Langston,
Manager, Diagnostics
Premier Cuisine – Room Service within the next
few months. This is an ambitious green initiative
which enables patients to take control of what and
when they eat. Studies show that this service not
only reduces waste, but improves patient satisfaction and contributes to improved quality of care.
What future efforts are on the horizon? Plans are
currently under consideration to optimize and upgrade the heating and air conditioning systems at
both campuses and to install solar panels to generate hot water at the freestanding laundry facility.
As Anita Adams, Good Samaritan vice president of
operations observes, “Good Samaritan’s mission
"The Diagnostic Imaging
Center sees many patients
throughout the day. Our
staff focuses on turning
off lights when rooms are
unoccupied, powering
down computers and
turning off equipment at
the end of the day."
has always been to build a healthier community.
That includes not just healing people, but healing
the community as well. By addressing environmental issues that impact us all, we become active partners in building the health of our
community and its citizens.”

LOYALTY IN ACTION
The LegacyCircle
It is a little-known fact that the sunflower symbolizes loyalty, as it turns its
floral face to greet the sun each day.
With this meaning in mind, the Legacy
Circle of Samaritan Health Foundation
chose the sunflower as its 2008 theme,
thus paying tribute to the donors who
have selected to express their loyalty to
Good Samaritan Hospital with a
legacy gift.
Sunflowers, representing loyalty, are the
appropriate symbol for the Legacy Circle.
Each September, Legacy Circle members gather to celebrate the good
works of Good Samaritan Hospital.
These extraordinary people are honored, and their generosity is remembered. The Circle expands as new
members indicate their intention to
plan a legacy gift to Good Samaritan.
Sunflowers abounded at the 2008
luncheon at Caffé Anticoli where
members acknowledged a stirring expression of gratitude from Legacy Circle Chair and Samaritan Health
Foundation Board of Trustees Secretary Larry Glickler, along with new
member recognition by Foundation
President, J. Kay Tormey. Following
the luncheon, Ann Lensch, breast care
coordinator at Good Samaritan
North's Samaritan Breast Center, described the individualized care each
breast cancer patient receives and the
role Samaritan Health Foundation
plays in providing funding for support
group functions and patient materials.

AROLYN AND MARILYN ... THE ‘BREWER TWINS’
C
AND MARILYN
These Good Sam Babies
Carolyn J. Brewer
When Carolyn and Marilyn
Brewer attended Dayton’s
Precious Blood School and
then Julienne High School
in the mid 1950s, they
would switch identities to
trick the nuns. The precocious
girls did the same thing to their
boyfriends − one of the perks of being an identical twin. Another is growing up
with your best friend and sharing
many of life’s milestones, including graduation from Good Samaritan Hospital School of Nursing
(class of 1961). Today, though
separated by many miles—one
lives near Anchorage, Alaska, and
the other near St. Louis, Missouri—the twins are no less a part
of each other’s life and have made
a lasting impact on the lives of
countless others.
By Jane Grant Tougas
“and our parents sacrificed a lot to send us to
school.” Both women say a love of people and a
desire to serve fueled their passion for nursing.
“We thought about becoming nuns and
nurses for a while, but we would have had to
leave Dayton to do both,” Marilyn recalls,
“so we chose nursing – and husbands.”

Marilyn in a physician’s office.
Although their nursing careers
in the Air Force were relatively
short, their husbands were career officers whose postings
took Carolyn and Marilyn all
over the country and in Carolyn’s case, to England as well.
In each new city, the sisters put
their nursing knowledge and
experience to work and, coincidentally, both were stationed in
Alaska at different times.
“There are tremendous technological innovations and medical advancements happening now, so much so that nurses really have
to specialize,” says Carolyn. “At the same
time nurse-to-patient ratios can pose quality-of-care challenges."
The Brewer twins agree they
have had great careers. Carolyn
sums it up this way: “Every day
brings a new challenge. Nursing
has rounded out my life and

person. It’s been a blessing.”

PREPARED TO CARE
MAKING SMART INVESTMENTS IN A HEALTHY FUTURE
A Message from President and CEO, Mark Shaker, Good Samaritan Hospital
Whenever I am asked to speak about the Hospital—whether it’s to community members, employees or physicians—I like to say, “Good Samaritan:
It’s not just our name. It’s who we are.” I think this
commitment is evident every day in the way we
care for our patients, each other, our
neighbors and our community.
people through support of sports programs in area
high school districts (see box below).
Over the past several years, we also have made a
significant investment in the Hospital’s information
technology infrastructure. All our dedication, training and hard work came to fruition late last year
when Good Samaritan’s new electronic medical
record system went “live.” If you have been listening to the federal government’s plans for streamlining healthcare costs, you know that information
technology is a strategic centerpiece. We are well
ahead of the curve at Good Sam.
We know our patients have choices,

FAREWELL TO A FOUNDATION FRIEND
EMILY SCOTT – 7/31/1942 – 9/28/2008
The Samaritan Health Foundation said goodbye to a
faithful Foundation friend when Board of Trustees member, Emily Scott, passed away suddenly in September of
2008. Her relationship with Good Samaritan Hospital began with her birth in 1942 and continues even
after her death. Close to $4,000 was given to the Foundation in Emily's memory by many family and friends.
It seemed fitting to meet with Frank for lunch recently to
reminisce about Emily at the Racquet Club. The Club was very
near and dear to her heart − Emily Sauer and Frank Scott became the first couple
to be married at the Dayton Racquet Club on June 26, 1982, just shy of Emily's
40th birthday.
Currently VP and Portfolio Manager at PNC Bank, Frank met Emily in 1980 during the course of business in her role as stockbroker with Merrill Lynch. They went on
to spend their 26 years together traveling the globe and enjoying each other's company.
The Foundation featured Emily in a 2003 article in Partners which detailed her
childhood spent on the family farm in West Alexandria. The determination and
hard work Emily learned as a child helped her pioneer the male-dominated stockbroker field at a time when only 200 women in the United States had that title. Her
continued love for the farm moved Emily to often spend vacation time on the tractor
plowing or harvesting.
Emily served tirelessly on the Dayton Racquet Club Board of Governors,Think TV
Channels 16 and 14, the Citizens Advisory Council and the Montgomery County
Historical Society Board.
After 36 years with Merrill Lynch, Emily retired to fill her days keeping up with
friends and family. Technologically savvy, she loved the internet and instant messaging.
Frank recalls that family "mattered very much to Emily…not just close family, but
friends and the community around her. The people at Merrill Lynch had a special
place in her heart." Emily was passionate about Good Samaritan Hospital and
served multiple terms on the Foundation's Board of Trustees. Her concern about the
nursing shortage led Frank to select the Beachler Nursing University as the recipient for gifts given in Emily's memory. Samaritan Health Foundation and Good
Samaritan Hospital were blessed to have been considered part of Emily's "family."

GOOD SAM BABIES: BORN TO BE TOGETHER
Craig and Carol Jenkins’ romance may have started after they graduated from
high school, but they can trace their relationship back a lot further: all the way to
the Good Samaritan nursery. Craig and Carol were both born at Good Samaritan
on March 2, 1961.
Clayton residents Carol and Craig Jenkins didn't meet until kindergarten, when
both attended Union Elementary. They recall discovering many coincidences and
similarities as they got older: Craig and Carol (Jay) shared the same initials and the
same birthday; their grandfathers were both named Fred Schmidt.
But it wasn’t until they started dating that they discovered they were both Good
Sam Babies born on the same day. The coincidences then seemed to multiply:
Craig weighed 8 pounds, 6 ounces at birth; Carol was 6 pounds, 8 ounces. He was
born around 6 a.m.; she was born around 6 p.m.
Now married for 26 years, Carol doesn't have to worry that Craig will forget her
birthday. The parents of three, Craig works at the Meijer Distribution Center in
Tipp City; Carol is a nurse who briefly worked at Good Sam. Sharing a birthday
with her husband “is kind of like having another anniversary,” Carol says.

WITH GRATITUDE
GOOD SAMARITAN DONORS
There is no greater responsibility than being entrusted
with another’s life and no greater accomplishment than saving it.
Each day of each year, this is the spirit of the Good Samaritan at
work inside Good Samaritan Hospital. Our staff is tender with
the newborn, compassionate with the aged and sympathetic
with the striving. As a donor to Good Samaritan, you
partner in this caring mission.
Donors tell us they give to give back. Many…with a sense of
gratitude for the blessing of life and for the care they received.
Gratitude often leads to generosity. Family names are evident in
the Hospital as Good Sam philanthropists. Each donor name in
Partners acknowledges a philanthropist −from a centenarian to
the child who emptied his piggy bank to help the homeless clinic.
We invite you to learn more about giving options by
contacting the staff at Samaritan Health Foundation at
937.278.5770 or [email protected]
Last week’s critical emergency patient has returned to his job.
Today’s cancer patient is hopeful and lives life with more meaning. Your gifts made a difference to Good Samaritan patients.
Thank you, 2008 Good Samaritan donors.

Many individuals, groups and

celebrate the opening of the
Dayton Heart and Vascular
Hospital at Good Samaritan.
We wish to thank these donors
for their participation.
BOB’S CLOCK TOWER
Robert Minneman is remembered in the Dayton business community as an innovator. His career in the tool
and die industry dates to 1954 when he started Minco
as a custom moldmaker. His foresight in the early '80s
to use computers to model molds was important to the
growth of the Minco Group which today employs 300.
Those who remember Bob think of his love of family, his
wife Pat and three children − one boy and two girls − and seven grandchildren. His
success in business afforded him additional time with his family and time for golf at
Miami Valley Golf Club. He loved life.
Bob was keenly aware of time. His collection of pocket watches and antique clocks
was the reason his wife Pat selected the Clock Tower at Good Samaritan to carry his
name. Pat was grateful for the care Bob received at
Good Sam and expressed her appreciation to the Hospital staff through a gift to Samaritan Health Foundation. A bronze plaque on the clock tower reads, Bob
Minneman’s Clock Tower. Donated by Patricia Minneman and The Family of Joseph M. Minneman.
On
sunny afternoons the remembrance appears to glow
from the rays of the sun; it reminds us that it is at Good
Samaritan to honor a special man.

With the setting of the sun on the evening of June 10, 2008, John C. (Jay) Stahler, MD
departed the world we know. He had a fierce but gentle spirit to do good things for
Good Samaritan Hospital and encouraged others to share his passion. Jay was a
Good Samaritan advocate and benefactor.
He joined the Samaritan Health Foundation (SHF) board in 1979, elected chair in
Emily Scharrer

JAY STAHLER , MD
remembered a special nurse who touched his life. She was a Sister of Charity who
had been the Supervisor in the Operating Room –
Sister Margaret Cortona Ebbing. When he determined a fund to support nursing education at the
Hospital would impact the challenges, he recruited a committee of retired nurses, physicians
and family members to help him attract gifts to
the new Sister Margaret Fund to address the nursing shortage. The fund topped $140,000 and is a
tribute to Dr. Stahler’s efforts to do good things.
His legacy lives today in the nurses at Good
Samaritan – his belief in them and their role in
caring for Good Samaritan patients.

MARIE AULL COURTYARD
IN BLOOM: This Good Samaritan garden courtyard was developed in April 2004
remembering donor, Marie Aull. Her first gift to Good Samaritan in 1973 was designated for landscaping. Over the years
she grew the Landscaping Fund to bring beauty to the landscape surrounding the Hospital where she received her healthcare services − Good Samaritan. Marie transplanted winter aconites, snowdrops and bluebells to Good Samaritan from her
internationally renowned Aullwood Garden. Upon her death in 2002, a bequest gift provided funding to develop the Marie
Aull Courtyard—a peaceful green space within the Hospital walls. Each year the early spring blooms remind us of Marie’s
passion for beauty and hope for healing. If you share her commitment to healthcare, please consider following Marie’s
example with your gift to Good Samaritan.
