Insight •Miami Valley Hospital Foundation
H
ere in the midst of the holiday
season, it’s a good time to take
stock of the year coming to a
close. Martin Faga’s story on
page 3 is a heartfelt account of
his experience at MVH. On behalf of patients and families like Martin’s, who
come to MVH seeking health and comfort, I
want to thank you for your part in the ongoing success of the MVH Foundation. Your
contribution is meaningful and very much
appreciated.
In this year end issue of Insight, we have
a report on the spectacular gala marking the
opening of Miami Valley South Health Center. It was a very special evening when more
than 730 people gathered in celebration of the
wonderful new medical facility in Centerville.
We also highlight an open house at the
Bull Family Diabetes Center as its patient
services are expanded in a new location. Our
thanks and congratulations to Jean Bull and
her family on this latest expression of their
generosity and commitment to diabetes patients.
There is also a remembrance of one of
the area’s outstanding physicians and a guiding influence on the MVH Foundation, Dr.
Junius Cromartie, Jr.
Once again, please accept our sincere
thanks for your generosity and trust in our
stewardship of your contribution. Whether
you have come to know the Foundation
through our special events or through a personal experience with the hospital, we thank
you for your compassion and thoughtfulness in
helping to expand the Margin of Excellence
for patients, families and staff at MVH.
On behalf of the board of trustees and
staff of the Foundation, we wish you the very
best for the holiday season and the upcoming
new year.
I wouldn’t be alive...”
M
artin Faga was visiting relatives
in Dayton when he suffered a
heart attack in the early morning hours of July 14. He was rushed to
the Emergency Department at Miami
Valley Hospital where he received immediate treatment. Upon his recovery,
Mr. Faga wrote to Mary Boosalis about
his experience. His heartfelt and insightful letter became the centerpiece
of the Foundation’s annual fall fundraising campaign.
In his letter, Mr. Faga wrote about
the human touch he received from the
physicians, nurses, staff and volunteers
at MVH. He commented further on
his experience in a telephone interview
excerpted here:
“Without question, the speed and
skill with which the hospital sped me
through the stages of treatment saved
my life,” he recalled. “If I were in a
lesser hospital, I wouldn’t be alive.”
During his initial recovery in the
Coronary Intensive Care Unit, he was
unable to speak. “As an intensive care
patient, you are totally dependent on
the expertise of that nurse - and you
are also pretty anxious - so their responsiveness and compassion means a
heck of a lot,” he remembered. “The
nurses always took the time to explain
about their procedures and the various
monitors. They always asked if I was
comfortable or needed anything which
made me feel confident they were carefully attending to me.”
When the time came to get up
and moving, (with incisions in his leg
and chest as a result of his surgery), Mr.
Faga was visited by the Lift Team. “It
was less of a strain on me and on the
nurses when the Lift Team was there,”
he recalled. “I was almost shocked by
the friendliness and helpfulness of every
member of the staff. This was true of
technicians, physicians, students, nurses
– everyone without exception.”
A retired executive from the nonprofit agency, MITRE, Mr. Faga has surveyed many organizations over the years
to gauge their professional strengths and
weaknesses. “Something I have seen in
well-run organizations, I saw throughout
the hospital,” he said. “People in highperforming organizations show mutual
respect for one another. For instance, many nurses told me that
they feel respected by the doctors
and the administration, and how
much they appreciated the educational opportunities the hospital
made available to them.”
As a United Way board
member in the Washington D.C.
area, he is appreciative of people
who give of their time and money.
“There are all kinds of charitable
needs in every community,” he
says. “I think a non-profit hospital is what you want. It creates a
very different attitude within the
organization, and, by its very definition,
it exists to provide the services it was
created for, not to make a profit.”
He summed up his MVH experience this way: “I observed great care
throughout the hospital the entire time
I was there. Miami Valley Hospital is
everything you would hope that a first
rate hospital would be.”
Martin Faga’s
story truly illustrates the meaning
of the Margin of
Excellence – to go
above and beyond
clinical expertise
to care for patients’
needs and comfort.
We sincerely thank
him for sharing his
personal story with
us, and we wish
him a speedy recovery in excellent
health.

Unique Contributions Highlight
Miami Valley South
Prior to the completion of the
new center, several generous donations
were made to the project through the
Foundation. One of the more unique
contributions will be the children’s library, “Abby’s Nook,” at the Emergency
Department’s entrance.
Created through a gift from KarinLeigh Spicer and Edward Blake, the
library will be themed in honor of the
family cat and will house pre-school
through third grade books for children
and their parents to read while waiting
for medical services. A puzzle book and
a coloring book highlighting Abby and
some of the medical experiences children
may encounter, are being developed.
A retired professor and author of
children’s stories, Karin will provide
hands-on guidance for the library. Ed currently serves as the chair of the Foundation’s board of trustees.
The gorgeous baby grand piano
in the lobby was graciously donated by
Marilyn Hauer-Crotty, and Don and Jerry
Hauer in honor of Michael and Ann
Hauer, founders of Hauer Music House.
The renowned music and instrument
store has been a downtown Dayton institution since 1937.

Bull Family
Diabetes Center Expands
A
n open house celebration took
place on December 5 in honor of
the expansion and relocation of
the Bull Family Diabetes Center. Located in the Wright Health Building at
the corner of Stewart Street and Patterson Boulevard, the expanded center will
provide comprehensive diabetes care in
a more convenient location.
Among those in an attendance
were Mrs. Jean Bull, her son John Jr.,
and grandson Eric, along with Medical
Director Miguel Parilo, MD, FACP, and
Heidi Buckingham, MD, who head up
the medical staff at the center.
The Bull Family Diabetes Center
operates as a comprehensive physician
practice, allowing patients access to the
medical expertise of two fully-certified
medical specialists, certified diabetes
educators (that are registered nurses
and registered dieticians), and advanced
practice nurses who serve at MVH and
the Bull Family Diabetes Center.
The center was established by Jean Bull in
memory of her son, Stephen, who passed away
at age 40 from diabetes,
and for her husband,
John, who also passed
away from the effects
of diabetes. With her
contribution through
the MVH Foundation,
Jean turned her grief
into a living memorial
that will improve the
lives of countless diabetes patients for years to
come.
For more information, or to schedule an
appointment, call the
Bull Family Diabetes
Center at (937) 2089090.

Services Provided by the Bull Family
Diabetes Center
Inpatient Diabetes Education –
Certified diabetes educators work with patients
admitted to the hospital with a diabetes
diagnosis. The goal is to cover survival skills
and to bridge from the hospital visit to diabetes
maintenance outside the hospital.
Inpatient Consultation and Clinical Management –
Studies show that 25 percent of patients admitted
to MVH have a primary or secondary diagnosis
of diabetes. The inpatient team works with the
patient’s physicians and the patient to provide
blood sugar control. At discharge, the inpatient
management team presents an updated report
to the patient’s primary care physician about
the patient’s hospital stay and their diabetes
management.
Outpatient Education –
The center offers a variety of self-management
diabetes education classes on skill development
and problem-solving for common diabetes
situations. The plan will allow the patient to make
informed choices and take better care of one’s
self. It is important for the person with diabetes
to be knowledgeable and skilled to care for their
diabetes as it is the patient who makes most of
the day-to-day decisions.
Suzy’s Bears Bring Smiles
A rainy September day
did not dampen the enthusiasm at the annual golf outing
in memory of Suzy Pender.
Proceeds from the tournament,
which raised $4,080 this year,
provide funds for the purchase
of teddy bears for young MVH
patients. The bears have t-shirts
recognizing the gift from the
Pender tournament. Our thanks
to Suzy’s parents, William and
Reta Pender, and to the tournament’s organizing committee:
Amy Fry, Matt Hayden, Carey
Ann Israel, Karen Israel, Deb
Kinderdine, Nikki Stroop and
Patty Waker.
Be A Good DLM Neighbor
A percentage of your
grocery bill can benefit MVH
when you enroll in Dorothy
Lane Market’s Good Neighbor
Program. Participants must use
a Club DLM card and spend
at least $250 in calendar year
2008. (The market will rebate
up to 1 percent of the purchases made up to a maximum
of $75,000 for all participating charities.) For more details
please call Dorothy Lane Market at 439-7210, or the Foundation office at 208-2700.
Charitable IRA Rollover Reminder
Last year Congress passed
legislation which included a
one-time provision for qualified
charitable contributions from
Individual Retirement Accounts.
The law allows IRA and Roth
IRA owners (who are at least
70 1/2 years of age) to donate up
to $100,000 directly to a qualified
public charity — without counting
it as income or paying income tax.
This opportunity is only available
through December 31, 2007.
In addition, the charitable
distribution counts toward minimum distribution requirements,
and IRA charitable distributions
may be made in addition to other
charitable giving.
As always, we suggest you
consult with your financial or
tax advisor to determine if this
plan is advantageous to you. We
are happy to assist you with any
preliminary questions you may
have. Please give us a call at 937208-2700 or email Beth Hutter
at ebhutter@mvh.org. We will be
happy to hear from you!
New Berry Pavilion Entrance
Beginning this
fall, women arriving
in labor will enter
the Berry Women’s
H e a l t h Pa v i l i o n
through a temporary
entrance on Wyoming Street. The
covered temporary
entrance may also
be used as a dropoff/pick-up point for
other patients and
visitors with limited mobility. The
temporary entrance
change is necessitated by construction of additional
space for the NICU over the old
main entrance. (Employees, medical staff and visitors walking from
the main garage can continue to
enter the Berry Pavilion through
the ambulance entrance on Magnolia Street.) The pavilion’s main
entrance is scheduled to reopen in
about 12 months.
In other construction news
on the main campus, the hospital’s newest restaurant, the Valley Café, opened in November.
Located near the newly renovated lobby in the main building,
the Valley Café offers quickly
prepared foods and grab and go
items for customers in a hurry.
With room for up to 86 dine-in
guests, the new restaurant is designed to meet customers’ preference for a wide variety of foods
and healthier choices. The Valley
Café is open from 6 a.m. to 8:30
p.m., seven days a week.

and many personal contacts with other

Dr. Cromartie was not only an
outstanding surgeon, but was also a
leader in the hospital community.
“When MVH saw a need for a vice
president of Medical Affairs he was the
person they turned to,” Eickman added.
“He was very highly respected in the
medical community and a true statesman.”

Throughout 2008, the MVH
Foundation will report on
our efforts to seek funding
to renovate the MVH Center
of Nursing Excellence. A
state-of-the-art center will
provide a teaching and
learning space serving both
educational and professional
activities for current nursing
staff and students. We hope
you will join us in preparing
for our community’s future
healthcare needs, with a
generous contribution to the
Center of Nursing Excellence.
