“Who are we helping today?” This is the most important question we ask at the Good Samaritan Hospital Foundation-Dayton because it powerfully bonds our mission and vision with the compassion, principles and values of the Good Samaritan parable. Daily, it keeps our focus squarely on making a difference to others. As you read this issue of Partners magazine, I think you will recognize that the stories are about people helping people. This is not by coincidence. It is how we operate, seeking to follow the example of kindness given us in the parable. In short, 2011 was a great year for the Good Samaritan Hospital Foundation-Dayton. We added several new programs, offered expanded giving opportunities, added a Facebook page, welcomed new board members, met new supporters and enjoyed time with current friends. 2011 was actually the best year ever in terms of fundraising thanks to many wonderful donors. The most significant gift of the year was a very generous $2 million bequest from the estate of Margaret and Don Penny. The incredible legacy they have left will help enrich the lives of many for a very long time to come. You can read more about other foundation distributions in support of the patients and staff of Good Samaritan Hospital on pages 30-31. “Thank You” on behalf of all those who benefit so much from your support. It is truly our pleasure to know you.

Art has the ability to communicate, and the sculpture really has communicated that sense of the importance of belief.” Sister Carol called the sculpture a legacy to Beachler’s “support of projects that affect holistic health care and our commitment to art.” Beachler has been a strong supporter of several hospital programs, most notably the hospital’s nursing education facility, which is named “Beachler Nursing University” in honor of her and her late husband Donald. As for the sculpture, Beachler is happy to include it in her gifts to Good Sam. “I think she’s beautiful,” Beachler said. “Everyone says she’s beautiful.” Elsie M. Beachler

Medical Committee Inspires Standard Register Partnerships, Donations Grows Legacy with Good Sam By Ria Megnin
n 2011, the Board of Trustees for the Good Samaritan Hospital Foundation formed its first Medical Committee. The committee was created to better involve physicians with the foundation in support of activities for the hospital, with the following goals in mind: • Inspire interest in support of the foundation. • Engage physicians in the hospital’s future.

• Create opportunities for cohesiveness among practice groups. • Support projects that will benefit medical staff and the hospital. • Find ways to involve physician spouses in the life of the hospital. • Identify ways to help enhance physician wellness. The committee’s work appears to be paying dividends. “There is more awareness among the physician community about the foundation and what its role is,” said committee member and current GSH chief of staff Dr. Attindra Chatterji. One initiative to come from the committee is the new, physician-sponsored Employee Appreciation Scholarship. At least four of these $1,500 scholarships will be awarded each year to Good Samaritan employees. The Medical Committee members review the applications and choose the scholarship recipients. Any Good Samaritan employee currently enrolled in an accredited college or university is eligible to apply. There are no re-

Recognizing the Exceptional –
The Scott Bradfield Model of Professional Nursing Award
“To me, the Bradfield award exemplifies the compassion and commitment of nursing,” Monica Sutter, GSH nurse and award recipient
I
By Debbie M. Price
n the days following their son Scott’s death, while they were still reeling from the suddenness of it, Carolyn (Murph) and Richard (Dick) Bradfield realized that they wanted to do something special to honor their beautiful son’s life. Scott’s sisters suggested a memorial fund, and Murph and Dick immediately knew the idea was right. In 2008, the Bradfields established the Scott Andrew Bradfield Memorial Fund with the Good Samaritan Hospital Foundation, which manages the fund.

able to soothe the pain that Scott couldn’t articulate. “Good nurses have an instinct,” said Dick. “They know.” Scott Bradfield was an exceptional person. He had suffered severe brain damage as a newborn in 1964 that left him unable to care for himself or say more than “bye-bye.” Yet, as his family recalls, for the 38 years that he lived, Scott remained a beacon of light, a joyous, loving, forever childlike soul who brought out the best in those around him.
Scott Bradfield Model of Professional Nursing Award • Established in 2008 by Murph and Dick Bradfield in honor of their son Scott • Awarded once a year • Recognizes an outstanding GSH bedside nurse
The Scott Bradfield Model of Professional Nursing Award recognizes a bedside nurse who exemplifies the Five Cs of Nursing: compassion, competence, conscience, confidence and commitment. Murph helps select the winner.
Dick and Murph tell of the people who were influenced to become nurses, special education teachers, even a doctor, by their time spent with Scott. Dick, after 20 years as a public school principal, too, embarked upon a post-retirement career tutoring special-needs children.
“Good Sam has always been so good to me,” said Murph. “Scott touched so many people there.”
“To me, the Bradfield award exemplifies the compassion and commitment of nursing,” said Monica Sutter, an award recipient who works with patients with substance abuse problems.
Nursing, too, was key, because of Murph’s love for the profession and because they had seen how nurses were
Cardiac care nurse Germaine Harris, another award recipient, said “The award is so significant to me because it says that someone recognizes that the nursing we do is very important. I can’t thank the Bradfields enough.”
Murph, a surgical nurse, graduated from the Good Samaritan Hospital School of Nursing in 1958 and still works at Good Samaritan North Health Center.

t’s not something any woman wants to face – a strange lump in her breast.
But for those facing such a crisis, the Samaritan Breast Center is there to help. “We have an excellent, comprehensive breast cancer program that provides care for people from diagnosis all the way through treatment,” said Breast Care Coordinator Ann Lensch, a registered nurse and certified breast health specialist. The Good Samaritan Hospital Foundation helps maintain a family environment at the center, Lensch said. Through several major programs, the foundation provides support including funding for staff and patient education, snacks for support groups, and emergency financial coverage for patients through a state grant. By Ria Megnin

In 2007, the center was the first such program in the nation to be certified by The Joint Commission, a national hospital accreditation organization. It remains the sole breast center with that certification within 250 miles of Dayton.
The Breast Center, which opened in 1999, offers: • A digital imagery center for mammograms and other services. • A breast surgeon and radiologist as co-directors. • About 25 physicians dedicated to providing breast care services. “Early detection is a critical focus at the center,” said Bobbie Martin, Director of Oncology Services. About 80 women a day come to the center for mammograms. About 250 patients receive additional care each year at Good Samaritan North Health Center, including diagnostic scans, blood work, chemotherapy, radiation and surgery.

The Samaritan Breast Center is equipped with a full digital imagery center for mammograms and other services.

T
he Good Samaritan Hospital Foundation recorded its best financial year ever in 2011, receiving over $3 million in support, thanks to the generosity of many donors.
Foundation Records Best Year Ever Raises $3 Million in Support
30
“This has been the best year the foundation’s ever had, period,” said Dr. Walter Reiling Jr., Chair of the Board for the foundation. “I would not have predicted it. We had our largest ever bequest ($2 million) from the estate of Don and Margaret Penny. But even if you exclude that, the overall success of the foundation for the year is still among the best ever. This is good news and a real blessing compared with the early years of the economic recession, where we were having some real difficulty.” Reiling said donors trust the foundation because of its reputation for good management of its funds and the breadth of projects that have strong community appeal, from nurses’ education and equipment purchases to the Samaritan Homeless Clinic. Besides the increase in giving in 2011, the foundation has worked hard to increase its operational efficiency, Reiling said: “Our success last year was due to a lot of work on the part of the staff, and a stroke of good luck, too. Now we’ve increased the amount of money that can go directly to charitable giving.” “The foundation has been very involved recently with several key projects that are important to the patients and employees of the hospital,” said Eloise Broner, President and CEO of Good Samaritan Hospital. “We are grateful that people have chosen to support the great things we’re doing here at Good Sam.”
