About the healing they’ve experienced firsthand
or witnessed in someone they care about.
About the people who make that healing possible
day in and day out.
About the incredible things they’ve seen great care do.
About how thankful they are to have the right people
in the right place, at the right time.
Everyone has a story.

“I’m a member of the Riverside
Methodist Hospital Development
Board, so I’m well aware of the
great things that go on every day
in this hospital. Having experienced
it, I now fully appreciate it.”
When Alan’s wife, Bobbie, developed an infection
and became critically ill, he knew where to turn.
Physicians and staff at Riverside Methodist Hospital
never gave up on Bobbie or themselves
through-out a two-week period in the ICU that was, at best,
touch and go. Bobbie is now fully recovered, though
with little recollection of what happened. Alan,
however, will never forget.
the alan and bobbie weiler icu educational award was established by the weilers to honor excellence in icu nursing at riverside methodist hospital.

How do you account for a fortune that’s
been reversed from bad to good again?
Our story goes back
over 100 years.
the story of the OhioHealth Foundation goes back to
1891, when Protestant Hospital, now known as Riverside Methodist Hospital, was built with the generosity of the local donor community.
Since then, as the OhioHealth system has evolved, so have we. Today, gifts made to the OhioHealth Foundation now benefit Riverside Methodist Hospital, Grant Medical Center, Doctors Hospital, Dublin Methodist Hospital, Grady Memorial Hospital and HomeReach Hospice. Nearly 100 community leaders serve on our Foundation Development Boards to solicit and steward gifts we receive from individuals, corporations, foundations and grant-making organizations.
Over the past five years, donors have generously contributed close to $50 million to our hospitals and healthcare services through the OhioHealth Foundation – much of it in the form of planned gift support from patients, physicians and individuals.
$18.1 millionfy10 total contributions
We honor stories of great care and caring by ensuring the
gifts we receive in appreciation and gratitude make the biggest difference they possibly can. That they’re used when and where they’re needed most. That they make an impact. And that they leave a legacy of better care for our communities.

Giving is a very personal decision.
We can help. Please call the
OhioHealth Foundation to discuss
how you’d like your gift to be used.
Your story
inspires us.
No one knows what stories of great care and caring mean to our communities better than the healthcare organizations that serve them. At each of our care sites, there
is someone dedicated to philanthropy who wants to hear your story. Who will work with you. Who will make sure your gift of thanks is focused on creating or sustaining
programs that specifically address the needs of your chosen care site. Who will pay tribute to your story.
grant medical center
At Grant Medical Center, we’re the place in the heart of the city where anyone can turn when the unexpected happens. We’re a Level I Trauma Center, with 15 specialty physicians
ready 24/7. The Emergency Department is the “front door”
of our hospital, where inside, we offer many more advanced health services.
Grant Medical Center has a legacy of extraordinary care that goes back 110 years. We’re one of the busiest Level I Trauma
Centers in Ohio. Our physicians and nurses have a national
reputation for excellence in orthopedics, cardiology and
women’s health. And we set ourselves apart with such
services as bloodless surgery, a human milk bank and a
nurse anesthetist training program.
doctors hospital
At Doctors Hospital, we make it our priority to provide extraordinary care. And then, to share our knowledge and expertise with others seeking to do the same.
Doctors Hospital is the second-largest teaching hospital of osteopathic medicine in the country. We provide advanced health services, including heart and cancer care, orthopedics
and imaging, and we recently tripled the amount of space
in our newly expanded Emergency Department to better accommodate patient care and privacy. Our commitment to high quality care and patient satisfaction is why Thomson Reuters ranks us among the nation’s top 100
teaching hospitals.
Innovation
& Technology
We support the discovery and use of new innovations not only because they raise the bar for cutting-edge medicine but because they reveal unexpected ways to better care for our patients. To find cures and new solutions. And to improve our patients’ experiences in ways both big and small.

Research
& Education
In healthcare more than in any other field, there’s no such thing as knowing too much. We fund research and education so our healthcare professionals can continually gain new knowledge – and share what they know with our teams and patients alike.

stroke program, one of the busiest maternity programs, and is nationally recognized for heart and vascular care.

The beauty surrounding her daily life has always
been the inspiration of Laurie’s artwork. Her
lake home. Rural landscapes. Purple cone flowers.
And women – those she had come to know and
admire at Grant Medical Center. Like her, they were
receiving treatment for breast cancer. Unlike her,
they needed wigs or transportation but were
without the means to pay. Painting gave Laurie
tremendous strength, comfort and an escape
throughout treatment. And now, her painting is
giving women in need with breast cancer much,
much more.

they complain.”

As all mothers and daughters imagine, Denise
helped her daughter, Natalie, get dressed on her
wedding day before watching her marry the man
she had chosen to spend her life with. It was a
lovely impromptu event held in the garden room
of Kobacker House and planned by the hospice
staff when Denise’s condition dramatically
worsened. Three days later, Denise died, though
not without the peace and fulfillment of seeing
her daughter and son-in-law start their new
life together.

How do you quantify the value of a shared moment
of celebration and peace?
