Last year was an exciting time for the BMH Foundation. We hosted a VIP Open House for the new John W. Fisher Heart Center and South Tower. At this event, we unveiled gifts of landscaping from the Sherman and Marjorie Zeigler Foundation, a sculpture which is being gifted by the Hamer D. and Phyllis C. Shafer Charitable Trust, and an original Jim Faulkner painting of Ball Memorial Hospital in the 1950s commissioned by the family of Dr. Maurice Schulhof. In addition, our new “Giving Wall” in the South Tower walkway was displayed to identify our donors who help make a vital impact on the health of the communities Ball Memorial Hospital and its affiliates serve.

The BMH Foundation continues to make a vital impact on the health of the community due in large part to the success of the Annual Campaign. The 2009 campaign will kick off in October and will focus on Women & Children’s Services. As you will read in this Annual Report, last year we proudly supported many important hospital projects including a pharmacy robot, a colonoscope for the Family Medicine Residency, funding to help BMH achieve “Baby Friendly” status by the World Health Organization, mastectomy kits for breast surgery

patients, and many other programs and services. Please consider making a donation early this year to help us continue to support projects which influence Ball Memorial Hospital.

As we reflect on our accomplishments of 2008, we thank all of our board members for the time they dedicate to the foundation and for providing leadership and insight for our future. We  specially thank retired board member Donald “Rusty” Ross for his years of service on our board and we welcome Dr. Charles Sanders and Charles Sursa as new members.

We started 2009 with the merger of Cardinal Health System and Clarian Health Partners which we believe better positions BMH to provide preeminent care to our community. Even though as a health care system we have grown much larger, the vision for the Foundation remains the same… “a resource to Ball Memorial Hospital to enable it to expand with excellence its provisions of patient care, education and research.” Your support allows us to fulfill this vision for our community hospital—Ball Memorial.
