A Remarkable Difference
Dear Friends:
“Remarkableness” surrounds us here at Atrium Medical Center.
Where do I begin?
Our patients and their loved ones come to us knowing we will care
for them with great skill and compassion. Their remarkable trust in
us inspires our physicians, staff and volunteers to go above and
beyond by striving to provide an excellent experience for every
Carol J. Turner
patient, every time.
Our caregivers bring remarkable energy and commitment to their
duties. Whether serving in the cafeteria, the intensive care unit, on an
administrative team — or anywhere at any Atrium location — they put
our patients first. They are the heart and soul of Atrium Medical Center.
Our region is experiencing remarkable growth. Atrium is keeping pace
to support the good health of local families and businesses. With our
recent expansion to Trenton and Mason, our busy neighbors find it
easier to stay healthy with convenient care, close to home or work.
Along with Premier Health, we continue to explore new and innovative
ways to build healthier communities.
Michael D. Stautberg
Giving with remarkable passion, our donors help us to do what might
be impossible without them. They fund hope with new treatments
and technologies, offer a hand up to those in need, and touch the
future with endowment gifts. Thanks to their generous gifts, we are
putting a mobile mammography unit on the road to help women beat
breast cancer.
For every way that you support our patients, our mission and our
vision, you have my deepest gratitude. Together, we’re making a
remarkable difference.
Gratefully,
Michael J. Schneider

Atrium Medical Center Foundation
Remarkable Success
From gifts large and small, from people young and old, from area newcomers and long-time residents
come the support that creates healthier communities. Our region is blessed with donors who care deeply
and give generously to Atrium Medical Center Foundation. We are honored to provide a meaningful way to
transform their support into action.
By being intentional about our work, our goal is to ensure that every gift makes the greatest impact. In
2010, we committed to a five-year development plan that has achieved remarkable success for the hospital
and our communities. More than $8.6 million has been raised during this period through targeted annual
campaigns; thoughtful endowment, estate and tribute gifts; and fun-focused special events.
Our Heritage Society, for those who include the Foundation in their will or estate plan, has grown under
the leadership of Dr. Bruce and Neila Barnes to include more than 65 members. Our annual estate and
tax planning seminar attracts more than 400 regional professionals each year and, most importantly,
generates planned gifts that benefit both the donor and local health care.
In 2014, donors from all walks of life stepped up to help build healthier communities here in southwest
Ohio. Among those we celebrate in this annual report are:
– Long-time supporters, such as Don and Raylene Pelfrey and Dr. Bruce and Neila Barnes, who give
generously of their time, energy and resources to make life better for others
– Businesses, such as Air Products and Chemicals, who believe that a strong hospital benefits their
employees and customers
– Individuals and families, such as Dr. Dan Butler and Mike and Kirsty Wertz, who are committed to
service as a way of life
– Foundations that touch the future on behalf of their founders, such as the Robert H. Reakirt
Foundation, PNC Bank, Trustee
– Organizations, such as Atrium Auxiliary Middletown and the Middletown Area Federation of
Women’s Clubs, who unite hearts and hands to benefit our communities
With dedicated supporters like these — and the hundreds of others who collaborate with us — Atrium
Medical Center Foundation will continue to achieve remarkable success. Please join us as we shape a
remarkable future for health care in southwest Ohio.

DON AND
RAYLENE PELFREY
Ask Don Pelfrey why he and his wife have been
such loyal supporters of Atrium Medical Center
Foundation, and he answers without hesitation,
paraphrasing golfer Payne Stewart: “Raylene and

in our region.”
— Don Pelfrey
I have more than we need, so it’s not hard to give
back to something lasting and worthwhile.”
After serving on the Foundation’s Planned Giving
Committee, Don, a Middletown native raised in
Monroe, joined the board of directors. That was
in 1999, and he hasn’t looked back. In 2001, the
Pelfreys co-chaired the Foundation’s dialysis
campaign. Both Don’s sister and his niece suffered
from kidney disease and required dialysis before
receiving kidney transplants. In 2005, Don served
as Foundation board chair and today continues as
a board member. “I have volunteered to step down
from the board,” he says, “but I’m still here!”
Don and Raylene married in 1960 while both were
in college and Don was an apprentice engineer
at Armco. Raylene left her pre-med program and
moved to Monroe where Don continued his career,
retiring from Armco’s corporate ranks in 1992. He
continues to do consulting work while serving on
numerous professional and community boards
and committees.
In 1960, Raylene became the first student at
Middletown Hospital’s medical technology school.
When the school took a hiatus and state licensing
rules changed, Raylene had to stop her education,
but she stayed with the hospital as a lab
employee until it was time to raise the couple’s
children – David, now the father of two, and Leah.

years later, Bruce and Neila are still enthusiastic cochairs. Under their stewardship, the Heritage Society
has grown to more than 65 members. “Neila and I
feel the need to give back and make the community
aware of the jewel it has in its midst,” explains Bruce.
Bruce and Neila have lived most of their 61-year
marriage in Middletown. They raised three children
here and are the proud grandparents of six. The
couple met while both were students at The Ohio
State University. In 1953, after Neila’s graduation, she
and Bruce tied the knot and began the journey that
eventually led them to Middletown.
Upon Bruce’s graduation, the couple moved to
Cincinnati, where Bruce began a surgical residency. In
1955, Bruce was called to serve as a dental officer at
the Army’s training and maneuvers center in Fort A.P.
Hill, Virginia. Two years later, the Barneses returned
to Cincinnati, where Bruce resumed his residency
and subsequently joined a fellow oral surgeon in
private practice in Indianapolis.
Bruce’s older brother, John “Jack” Barnes, MD, urged
the Barneses to come to Middletown, where he was
a surgeon in private practice. “We are very grateful
to Jack for his encouragement and support,” Bruce
says. “Sadly, he passed away in 2013.” Bruce and Neila
have shown their gratitude by giving to the Atrium
endowment fund in Jack’s memory.

Chemicals is a Fortune 500 company with 20,000
employees and multiple locations around the planet.
Even though the company operates in more than 50
countries, Air Products often thinks locally, especially
when it comes to philanthropy.
Each Air Products location decides how best to
contribute to its local community. Lyle McDaniel
manages the plant on Yankee Road in Middletown,
a facility that supplies industrial gases to AK Steel,
Atrium Medical Center and other area businesses.
Lyle and his team have made support of Atrium
Medical Center one of Air Products’ priorities.
“From the beginning of life to the end, Atrium
Medical Center provides valuable services to the
employees and families of Air Products,” he says.
“We want to do what we can to get behind the good
work that Atrium does.”
Lyle points out that medical care is just one of the
ways that many of his 55 employees depend on
Atrium. “Our employees also have family members
who work at the hospital in many capacities,” he
says. “No matter which way you look at it, supporting
Atrium is the right thing to do.”
No matter the cause or event, Air Products is
always willing to get involved. For many years, Air
Products has contributed to Atrium Medical Center

“The gift Air Products made to the

campaign is helping patients with stroke
and other neurological conditions

“These kinds of partnerships with
area businesses are essential to keep

“We’re grateful for the relationships

Lyle says. “Having a strong hospital right

important. We’re happy to help.”

Generosity
ROBERT H. REAKIRT
FOUNDATION, PNC
BANK, TRUSTEE
During his lifetime, Cincinnati native Robert H.
Reakirt had a strong inclination toward generosity,
especially to organizations that promoted
patriotism and self-reliance. He received great
satisfaction from doing things that helped people.
Now, many years later, he’s touching the lives
“Mr. Reakirt’s legacy,
perpetuated through his
estate gift, is changing
lives throughout

of southwest Ohio residents through a grant
to Atrium Medical Center Foundation from the
Robert H. Reakirt Foundation, PNC Bank, Trustee.
Thanks to Mr. Reakirt’s foresight, Atrium Medical
Center patients, area health care professionals
and members of our community will learn more
about preventing, recognizing and treating stroke,
the leading cause of disability and number five
cause of death in the United States.
Mary Alice Koch of PNC Bank, Reakirt Foundation
administrator, visited Atrium to learn about
educational efforts related to stroke. “I was
impressed with Atrium’s abilities to care for
people with stroke, Alzheimer’s and other
neurological issues. It’s gratifying to know that
our foundation will help so many people increase
their understanding of stroke and ways to lessen
its impact,” she says.
Mr. Reakirt accumulated his wealth through
commercial real estate ownership in downtown
Cincinnati. As a probate attorney, he experienced
firsthand how estate giving could touch the
future. The Robert H. Reakirt Foundation, PNC
Bank, Trustee, was established in 1972, shortly
after his death. Today the foundation’s priorities
are grants to education, libraries and health care.

Life of Service

Daniel A. Butler, MD, his path of service has led him
to Atrium Medical Center, Iraq and Afghanistan.

he accepted in 1994. When seconds count, this
talented physician is dedicated to ensuring that
seriously injured patients coming to the Emergency
Trauma Center (ETC) receive the prompt assessment,
resuscitation, emergency care and stabilization they
need. Under his direction, Atrium’s ETC first achieved
Level III Trauma Center verification in 2004 and
maintains full accreditation as Warren County’s only
Level III Trauma Center.
Dr. Butler’s expertise in trauma and his passion for
serving others led him to join the U.S. Army Reserves
in 1991, while completing his surgical residency.
A lieutenant colonel, he has been deployed to Iraq
two times (2004, 2010) and to Afghanistan once
(2012), serving as trauma surgeon on a Forward
Surgical Team. As a colonel, he continues to serve as
a mentor for young combat medics and nurses in the
U.S. Army Reserves.
Why did he choose to serve? “The Army has a great
need for surgeons. This was an opportunity for me
to give back to my country that has done so much for
me,” Dr. Butler shares.
Born in South Korea and orphaned at an early age,
Dr. Butler says doing for others is a value instilled
by his adoptive parents, an Indiana physician and
his wife. He was the fourth South Korean child they
adopted, joining a family of seven children. “Giving

Giving to Atrium Medical Center Foundation fits with
Dr. Butler’s principles, and he is grateful that others
make the Foundation a priority as well. “I see
firsthand the impact that the Foundation has on
Atrium Medical Center, including equipment and
education right here in the ETC,” he says. “One recent
campaign resulted in local paramedics receiving an
important new type of tourniquet that I first learned
about when I served in an Army field hospital.”
Through the years, generous donors have
provided PALS (Pediatric Advanced Life
Support) bags to area EMS squads; equipment
and training to support the hospital’s verification
as a Level III Trauma Center; and additional
technology that keeps trauma care on the
leading edge.
Every day, Dr. Butler experiences what it means
to patients to have a Level III Trauma Center
that’s part of a strong hospital. “Donors to the
Foundation should be proud of the difference
they’re making — for patients, the hospital and
the community,” he concludes.

“The Auxiliary has given the

says Martha Oches, president of Atrium Auxiliary
Middletown.
On October 6, 2014, more than 100 Atrium
Auxiliary Middletown members gathered at
Atrium Medical Center for a dinner celebrating
the Auxiliary’s 100th anniversary and honoring
auxilians past and present for their service.
“The evening was filled with memories, tributes,
gratitude and pride,” Martha reports.
In 1914, when 20-year old Sara Verity (daughter
of Armco founder George Verity and his wife,
Jean) organized the Girls Welfare Association –
precursor to the Auxiliary – she and a handful
of her friends made a pledge to the community
“to create funds and dispense them for the
benefit of needy individuals, as well as to give
personal hours of service wherever needed.”
Today, Sara’s legacy, Atrium Auxiliary Middletown,
boasts nearly 200 members dedicated to
furthering the welfare and interest of Atrium
Medical Center through fundraising and service.
“When funding a capital campaign or special
project, we can always count on the Auxiliary
early on for their ongoing input and support,”
explains James Papakirk, JD, chair of the

Mike and Kirsty Wertz own Wertz Family Tree

grandparents originally ran the farm as a fruit
orchard. This local landmark keeps Mike and

Kirsty hails from Perth, Australia, and Mike was

ATRIUM MEDICAL
CENTER FOUNDATION
It all starts with just one question: What do our
communities need for their good health?
The answers can change lives.
With 30 years of
experience in touching
lives and improving
health, Atrium Medical
Center Foundation
will keep finding new
ways to change lives,
in partnership with
our donors.
Take the da Vinci® surgical system, which came to
Atrium Medical Center in 2010 thanks to generous
donors to Atrium Medical Center Foundation’s
Imagine a Cure campaign. Now, men and women
with cancer and other serious conditions can
benefit from robotic surgery, close to home, that
enables quicker healing, less pain and a faster
return to busy lives.
More babies in our region are starting life at full
term, fewer die from unsafe sleep practices and
more benefit from breastfeeding. And when the
unthinkable happens, grieving parents spend final
moments with their infant in a comfortable, private
room. Caring donors to the Foundation’s Little
Blessings campaign in 2011 helped to make all of
this possible.
Stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, ALS (Lou
Gehrig’s disease) — all can steal some of our most
precious abilities and disrupt hopes and plans.
Through the recent Moments Matter campaign,
hundreds of donors dug deep to offer patients
with these conditions new hope with advanced
treatments and prevention.
And now, the Every Woman, Everywhere campaign
aims to help stop breast cancer by putting a mobile
mammography unit on the road, making it easier
for women in our region to get a potentially lifesaving mammogram.

Atrium Medical Center Foundation
Raising funds for real, pressing health
care needs in southwest Ohio is at
the heart of the Foundation’s work.
“Fulfilling our mission of building
healthier communities in southwest
Ohio, we bring together donors who
want to make a difference — close to
home — with projects that need their
support to become reality,” says
Michael J. Schneider, Foundation chair.
The Foundation faithfully stewards all
resources entrusted to us. Since 2010,
our endowments and investments have
grown from just under $15 million to
nearly $20 million at the end of 2014.
The number of endowments has
nearly doubled with recent campaigns.
Many endowments are established
by donors to honor a loved one. Each
fund’s annual income is used only for
the purpose designated by the donor.
Endowments ensure that health care
improvements will continue in our region
for generations to come.
With 30 years of experience in touching
lives and improving health, Atrium
Medical Center Foundation will keep
finding new ways to change lives, in
partnership with our donors. We’ll never
stop answering that one important
question.
Over the last 10 years, generous donors to Atrium
Medical Center Foundation have helped to fund,
top to bottom: the da Vinci® surgical system;
improvements in emergency and trauma care;
enhancements in neuroscience care, including
Atrium’s Telestroke capabilities so stroke experts
can remotely diagnose patients with stroke; and

FOR HEAL
Lisa Cryder, owner of Lebanon Ford, loves to help community
efforts, especially those that energize her employees. Kathy Wells,
product specialist, supports Atrium Medical Center Foundation and
asked Lisa if the popular dealership could pitch in.

Kim and Matt Munafo
An idea was born! In June and July 2014, when friends and family of
Mr. and Mrs. Richard Munafo
Atrium Medical Center purchased any vehicle from Lebanon Ford,
Ms. Tricia Munafo

the dealership donated $300 to Atrium’s HEAL (Help Endure a Loss)
program that supports families who have lost a child. Plus, a service
appointment resulted in a $10 savings and a $10 donation to HEAL.
Mrs. Suzy Muzzarelli
“We were happy to help – and pleased with the response!” Lisa
Mr. and Mrs. Verdayne P. Naylor, III
reports. “We are repeating this program this summer.”
Ms. Kristina K. Neill
“Atrium Medical Center is vitally important not only to our
Paul and Cecelia Nenni
customers, but also to all the people in this area,” says Kathy,

THE LOVING LEGACY OF
LORNA EMLEY ANSLINGER, RN
A tradition of dedicated service to others started by the late Lorna
Emley Anslinger, RN, a member of Middletown Hospital School of
Nursing’s Class of 1946, continues today. The next generations of
her family include another nurse, a doctor, a physician’s assistant
and another working on a medical degree.
Her legacy also lives on in this part of the country, even though Lorna
(nee Emley) and her husband, Dan, relocated to California in 1989.
Each year since Lorna passed away in 2005, Dan has faithfully made
memorial gifts to Atrium Medical Center Foundation.
Lorna Emley Anslinger, RN, a 1946
graduate of Middletown Hospital
School of Nursing, is remembered by
her husband with annual gifts to Atrium
Medical Center Foundation.
“I was overseas in World War II when Lorna was in nursing school,”
recalls Dan. “She wrote fondly about her time there and how much she was learning. I saved all the letters.”
The Anslingers married in August 1946, one week after Lorna graduated. They raised three sons.
“Dan’s gifts are a tribute to his and Lorna’s love for each other and their concern for the health of others,”
says Jessica Woodard, development manager, Atrium Medical Center Foundation. “We are grateful to be a
part of their legacy.”

LOCAL BOB EVANS RESTAURANTS HELP HEAL
Good food for a great cause was the focus in November, when 11 area Bob Evans restaurants earned money
for the HEAL (Help Endure a Loss) program endowment at Atrium Medical Center. With the popular “dine and
donate” program, Atrium employees, their families and friends received a discount on their meal – and Bob
Evans made a donation to HEAL.
The fundraiser started in November 2013 when General Manager Dave Lovejoy held the promotion at his
Bob Evans location near the Towne Mall. After the success of the effort, he approached Area General Manager
Bob Orr about extending it in 2014 to
locations in Springboro, Miamisburg, West
Chester, Mason, Lebanon, Sharonville,
Finneytown, Cincinnati Mills and Blue Ash.
“We’ve all been affected by the loss of a
loved one and realize in part how difficult
it would be to lose a child,” says Dave. “We
are happy to support Atrium and the HEAL
program, which helps families through a
very difficult time.” Dave says diners can
look forward to the return of the HEAL
fundraiser in 2015.

In memory of G. Robert Gage

Avonna Muterspaw, members sold pink ribbons to be posted around
Mr. and Mrs. James W. Hardin
the VFW hall, held a bake sale and raffle, and found other ways to
Ms. Linda N. McGuire
members of the VFW post in Middletown (Miami Valley Post 3809)
raise funds.
Because they wanted the dollars collected to go to work locally, the
VFW contributed to Atrium Medical Center Foundation’s Every Woman,
Everywhere campaign. The VFW and generous donors throughout
southwest Ohio joined together to help put a mobile mammography
unit on the road, making it more convenient for women to get
potentially lifesaving mammograms.
“Most of us have connections to Atrium and wanted the money to
help neighbors and friends,” reports Kathy Muterspaw, outgoing VFW
Auxiliary president. She says that many family members of the VFW
post rely on Atrium’s Wilbur and Mary Jean Cohen’s Women Center
for mammograms and breast health care. The fundraising also raised
awareness. “October was also a good time to remind each other to
make sure we get our mammograms,” she says.

donations to Jessica Woodard, right, of Atrium Medical Center Foundation.
