COVID KindnessThe Grandview Foundation team launched COVID Kindness to support our healthcare colleagues doing the hard work on the frontlines through-out the pandemic. Physicians, nursing staff and other caregivers at Grandview, Southview and free-standing EDs in Huber Heights and Eaton have been treated to meals, goodies and support during the Covid 19 battle.

Cash donations from donors, and in-kind do-nations from local restau-rants, have fed the staff at least twice a week, and stocked the respite care areas at Grandview and Southview with water and snacks. Local manufacturers have also donated PPE, which has been helpful as supplies dwindle.

In the ultimate gift of Covid Kindness, one of the Hand Fellows donated his family’s stimulus funds to help employees in the Hand Center who were fur-loughed and experiencing hardships. This gift was doubled by his program director and another faculty member – what wonderful acts of generosity!

If you would like to support the COVID Relief efforts, you can make a gift at www.ketteringhealth.org/GiveGrandview and select area of greatest need Covid-19.

Staff from the Emergency Department were treated to Ritter’s, while the OR Team enjoyed Jersey Mike’s.

Match Update

T his is the first year that all Grandview Hospital residency programs participated in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). Previously, our programs fielded residents from the Osteopathic/AOA Match. The NRMP Match includes both MD and DO graduates. Each of our programs saw record numbers of applicants for this cycle, with the average total number of applicants per program being ten times what we saw in the AOA Match. Grandview programs were successful in the Match and filled with high level candidates. Grandview’s Ophthalmology pro-gram continue to fill through the San Francisco Match; they matched 2 outstanding applicants for the year. Grandview’s incoming class includes 35 DOs and our first MD resident! Ten of our class of 36 are Ohio natives, including 8 OUHCOM grads. The Grandview Foundation welcomed new residents at orientation with a message and welcome gift.

residents become proficient in surgical skills and tech-niques required for direct patient care.”

Recent upgrades to the center include simulators to practice injections, surgical knots, intubation, scoping, and other procedures. Through the generosity of the

Grandview Foundation, which continuously strives to support resident education, the Skills Center recently added a GI/Bronch Mentor. This is a state-of-the-art, advanced endoscopic simulator used to teach general surgery residents gastrointestinal endoscopic skills. The residents will use it to work through basics, such as handling and maneuver-ing the endoscope efficiently, and progress through more complex simulations. These include the removal of polyps and treatment for gastrointestinal bleeding.

Medical device manufacturers and other organizations pay user fees to provide training modules at the center. “Reps tell us that our skills center is the best resource in the city, a hidden gem,” said Kelly Fackel, vice president for devel-

opment at Grandview Medical Center. Grandview Foundation funded the center with proceeds from Eagle Seekers and other

donations, and user fees from vendor labs will provide ongoing operational support for the lab.

If you would like to support the lab, visit www.ketteringhealth.org/GiveGrandview and select “Skills Lab” in the drop down menu.

Skills Lab Expanding to Meet Growing Needs T he Wetherell Innovation & Procedural Skills Center has been a busy place since opening last year on the campus of Southview Medical Center. Planned upgrades will make it an even more useful resource for residents, fellows, attending physicians, and medical device manufacturing reps.

The $650,000 skills center, which was named in honor of Russ Wetherell, former president of Grandview and Southview medical centers, is located on the second floor of the Yankee Medical Building. The primary purpose of the center is to provide training opportunities for physicians in specialties such as general, orthopedic, hand, otolaryngology, and obstetric-gynecologic surgery. Structured learning experiences help residents master surgical skills and gain confidence before operating on real patients. The physicians can practice essential surgical skills, work on new techniques and technologies, and receive meaningful feedback from trainers.

The skills center features:

■ 1,400 square feet of teaching space, and an office, supply room, and restrooms.

■ Refrigerated storage for anatomy specimens.

■ Four hands-on student training stations and a cen-tral teaching table outfitted with surgical lighting and instruments. One station has a high-resolution camera, whose images can be broadcast to remote locations for review and critique, and to document improvement.

■ Scopes, imaging technology, drills, and other state-of-the-art simulation and training equipment.

Experienced surgeons have been impressed with the skills center’s capabilities and potential. “The center provides residents-in-training the opportunity for hands-on experi-ence in a safe, stress-free, simulated environment,” said Mike Elrod, DO, program director for general surgery at Grandview Medical Center. “This experience will help the

Family Practice Review and Reunion

The 25th Annual Family Practice Review and Reunion, better known as FPRR, was held just prior to the Covid quarantine, and once again proved to be a huge success. Over 240 physicians, residents, medical students and physician extenders participated in the annual medical educa-tion conference, and enjoyed learning from the excellent program of speakers, many of whom are products of Grandview’s residency training programs. Next year’s PRR conference is set for February 12-14, 2021 at Sinclair Community College’s Ponitz Center. Congratulations to the outstanding committee chairs — Dr. Mark S. Jeffries and Dr. Arvin K. Nanda, along with committee mem-bers Dr. Barbara A. Bennett, Dr. Ben Rose and Dr. Andreas H. Syllaba. If you have an interest in serving on the FPRR committee and contributing to this great program, please reach out to anyone on the committee or email [email protected].

Internal Medicine

The Internal Medicine residency program is making strides to-ward ACGME excellence, and two Grandview residents performed well in the DAGMEC 21st Annual Virginia C. Wood Resident Research Forum. Brandon Ryhlick, DO placed second in the Case Reports cate-gory for “Diabetic Ketoacidosis with Aortic Root Abscess: Case Study.” Kelly Sun, DO captured first place in the Patient Safety category for her paper “Improving Pneumonia Vaccination Rates for the Medically Underserved: A Retrospective Study and Quality Improvement Initiative.” Congratulations to both for their exceptional research projects.

IM Program Director Greggory Volk, DO is actively working on curricu-lum and programming to enhance resident wellbeing – and has agreed to champion the cause of wellness and resiliency for Grandview’s GME programs.

IM Program Director Gregg Volk, DO and his Residents organized a house-wide demonstration in support of “White Coats for Black Lives.”


Orthopedic SurgeryOrthopedic surgery residents

are carrying on the tradition of excellence in research. PGY1 David Houserman, DO placed second in the patient safety category at DAGMEC 21st Annual Virginia C. Wood Resident Research Forum for his study “Fragility Fractures: Implementing a Fracture Liaison Service and Improving Secondary Prevention.” Dr. Houserman’s work with Lauren Rode, PA will evolve into a new Bone Health service at Grandview. A Dexascan, funded by the Grandview Foundation, will go into service this summer to assess risk in women. Strategies to address early stage osteoporosis include nutrition (Culinary Medicine), supplements and exercise – which will be incorporated into the Ortho Clinic at Cassano.

Grandview residents also performed well in the KHN Spring Research Symposium. Congratulations to JD Stephens, DO (PGY3) for his first-place win and $500 prize, and to Brian Handal, DO (PGY2) for his second-place finish and $250 cash prize.

Always innovating, the Orthopedic Surgery program conducted their recent journal club “virtually.” Meals from the Cheesecake Factory were delivered to each participant’s home and a lively conversation ensued around Dr. Sean Gao’s presentation on “The Psychology of Total Joint Arthroplasty.” Doordash Didactics was a big hit!

Congratulations to the Class of 2020 graduates – Chris Luther DO, James Jackson DO, and Emily Tan DO. All 3 are continuing their education this fall; Dr. Luther is doing a Sports Medicine fellowship at Beacon Orthopedics and Sports Medicine in Cincinnati; Dr. Jackson is pursuing an Ortho Sports Medicine fellowship at Houston Methodist Hospital in Texas; and Dr. Tan is taking a Hand to Shoulder fellowship at Philadelphia Hand to Shoulder Center.

Zoom, zoom, zooma zoom— didactics continue during Covid; two residents are about to enjoy dinner at their computers

The internal medicine education I am getting at Grandview wouldn’t be possible without the support of the wonderful people at the Grandview Foundation. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to learn, grow, and serve our community.”

Obstetrics and Gynecology While the COVID-19 pandemic ground “business as usual” at Southview to a halt

for a couple of months, births are booming, keeping the residents and attendings very busy. Dr. Mark Day, program director, is pleased by progress made in the residency, and shared “the residents are enjoying their new resident lounge and study room, funded in part by a gift from the Grandview Foundation and Southview Administration.” Residents recently got away for a team wellness outing, where they created an art piece to hang in the new lounge (pictured below).

Congratulations to 2020 graduates – Sarah Pickett DO, Michael Platt DO, and Ashley Seidner DO. Dr. Pickett will be moving to Las Vegas to practice with Women’s Health Associates of Southern Nevada; Dr. Platt will join St. Elizabeth Physicians Women’s Health in Edgewood, Kentucky; and Dr. Seidner is going to Riverview Health in Noblesville, Indiana.


Emergency MedicineGrammy-award winning performer Lizzo recently sent a video greeting to the

Emergency Department team at Grandview to encourage them in the fight against Covid 19. Accompanying her “shout out,” Lizzo purchased lunch for the ED staff! Lizzo has been moved to support first responders across the country, but why Dayton? And why Grandview?

As with most things in life – it’s who you know! Lizzo has a deep connection to Virginia Mack, a Huber Heights resident and ultrasound technologist at Sugar Creek Health Center, a Grandview Medical Center service. Mack’s daughter is a longtime Lizzo collaborator who deejays for her under the stage name Sophia Ennis.

Lizzo first reached out to Mack to check in on the staff at

Sugarcreek. “Hey y’all. It’s Lizzo and I just wanted to shout out the Sugarcreek Health Center. You guys are so near and dear to my heart because, you know, one of my best friend’s mom and one of my favorite people, Virginia Mack, works there.”

When she decided to do more, Lizzo asked Mack which hospital would appreciate her support. Mack shared “Grandview is my FAVORITE place to be on call because the people who work in the ED are wonderful!”

NeurologyClose to a dozen grad-uates of Grandview’s Neurology Residency

program connected at the mid-year meeting of the American College of Osteopathic Neurologists and Psychiatrists in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Grandview alumni are active in the professional college – Wynde Cheek, DO is the past president of the college, Ted Harris, DO is pro-gressing through committee chair-manships to president, and Nicole Danner, DO is assuming the role of chairman of the neurology certifying board through the college.

Grandview residents Dr. Nicole Alexander and Dr. Sarah Ramquist tied for first place with the poster presentations. Drs. Taylor Kabacinski, Derek Menkedick and Jakai Nolan all gave excellent case presen-tations to the college.

Program Director Michael Valle, DO has always encouraged and supported residents to attend the mid-year conference; “we always

Grandview Neurology graduates enjoy reconnecting with pro-gram director Mike Valle, DO at an alumni dinner in Florida.

have a great turnout of Grandview alumni, and this conference is a good opportunity for alumni to meet the generations of neurologists following in their footsteps.”



Radiology The Radiology residency program has continued to pursue scholarship.

Grandview’s R4 resident Jenn Evans, DO recently published her article “Vesicouterine Fistula” in the online version of Applied Radiology. The next quarterly research didactics will review resident progress on scholarly projects. The faculty is working on several articles for the special edition of the Journal of the American Osteopathic College of Radiology (JAOCR) that features Dr. Sharal Mall, our department chair, as a guest editor. Also, Dr. Blake, one of our faculty, presented at Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) on “AI Theater: AI and the Everyday Radiologist: Embracing the Possibilities While Avoiding the Pitfalls”.

Within the 2019 revisions to the ACGME common program require-ments, a greater emphasis is placed on resident well-being. The program is continuing to implement ACR well-being curriculum, and the ACR has given residents access to Well Being Index/assessment from the Mayo clinic to help them track their wellness, and connect them with re-sources relating to applicable topics. There have been two resident events this year — axe throwing and a team painting event, to build community and rapport between the residents.

While reviewing the Ultrasound curriculum, we found there was a need for hands on training and documentation. Pursuing options for ultrasound simulation training led us to SonoSim, and we found that many of the other residencies had a need, or interest, in ultrasound training pertaining to their specialty. We are working with the Grandview Foundation to purchase this software for all residents to use at Grandview and Southview.

Grandview Medical Library

2020 is proving to be exciting and busy year for the Grandview library staff! In addition to supporting the residents and medical students, hospital employees who are going back for advanced education are seeking out the librarians for assistance. The library has become a knowledge hub for research and studying. As a result, we are making full use of our technology and resources and have:

■ Created 208 shared folders — this is a folder in Share Point where we can add articles or other educational materials and send the user a link through Kettering email. This reduces the use of the copier and users can also add their work or research materials so they are all in one place for easy access

■ Added 3,018 files/articles to the folders since starting the shared folder service

■ Added a people counter to our front doors and from February 13 to March 11, 2020 the door count shows 13,327.

■ The computer lab has become busier than ever and we have observed residents and medical students standing in line for a computer.

■ The librarians partner with Stephanie Balsom to help with research and research projects such as;

— Writers Workshop

— Research Symposium

— Research Bootcamp

— Supporting residents who are working on getting their research published.

We are excited to see what the rest of 2020 is going to bring for the Grandview Medical Library.

Grandview Alum Leads KHN Informatics Fellowship

Congratulations to Carrie Baker, DO, an alumnus from Grandview’s Emergency Medicine residency program, for being selected as Program Director for KHN’s new Clinical Informatics Fellowship. The fellowship received “initial accreditation” from ACGME in February 2020 for two fellows per year and will start as early as July of this year. The fellowship is spon-

sored by Soin Family Medicine, but rotations and education will take place at all three teaching hospitals: Grandview, Kettering and Soin. Clinical Informatics uses data and analytics to improve care delivery and outcomes; physicians from any specialty are eligible to apply for the fellowship. Contact Dr. Baker at [email protected] if you would like more information.

General Surgery General Surgery faculty and residents have been actively pursuing

research and scholarship. Two case reports were recently published, and an article has been accepted for pub-lication in JAOA (Journal of American Osteopathic Association).

Lauren E. Smith (R4) and Paul Levy published “Ischemic appendicitis due to pelvic adhesions: a case report” in the Journal of Surgical Case Reports. The case was interesting because it found scar tissue in the abdomen causing constriction around the ap-pendix to cause disease. There was not a definitive diagnosis until patient was taken to surgery.

David Jenkins (R5) and David Bruce published another rare case report in Cureus, titled “Locally Invasive Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Presenting in the Splenic Flexure.”

Wesley Johnson (R5) has an ar-ticle pending publication in the JAOA titled “Communication Skills of Grandview/Southview Medical Center General Surgery Residents Assessed with the Communication Assessment Tool (CAT).” The study seeks to identify areas of strengths and weaknesses in two core com-petency areas important to perfor-mance as a surgeon– interpersonal/communication skills and profes-sionalism. Results are used to coach residents and faculty and improve the residency program.

Congratulations to 2020 program graduates Wesley Johnson, Danielle Saldana and Paul Stevens. Dr. Johnson is staying in Dayton to practice with Brian Ondulick, DO at Soin Medical Center; Dr. Saldana is moving to South Carolina to prac-tice at McLeod Hospital in Manning, and Dr. Paul Stevens is moving to Alabama to join Grandview alum Trace Stafford, DO in practice.

Resident Graduation 2020 Graduation 2020 was different this year for everyone, and Grandview was no different! In lieu of a large gathering to celebrate resident accomplishments and faculty awards, each graduate was delivered a meal for 4 to their homes on what would have been the night of graduation. They were encouraged to connect using social media to celebrate with their faculty and colleagues.

EAGLE SEEKERS 2020

We Hit a Divot – Please Help Us Pivot!

T he Grandview Foundation Trustees have canceled Eagle Seekers due to concerns and risks associated with Covid-19. This poses a challenge because the event is the Foundation’s sole fundraiser, and proceeds are critical to supporting our mission each year.

To replace much-needed revenue, we are using the theme “We Hit a Divot – Please Help Us Pivot” to ask donors to divert their dollars in support of a “phantom” event. Many signature sponsors have already committed, and for that we are grateful.

We hope our alumni and supporters will see the value of supporting “the Eagle Seekers that wasn’t”— because proceeds will fund ultrasound simulation equipment and training for all residents and teaching faculty for a 5-year pe-riod. Ultrasound is becoming a necessary skill for physicians, and having this technology is a recruiting advantage for Grandview and Southview Hospitals. The only good news about the “phantom” event is your contribution will be entirely tax deductible— because NO GOLF, GOODIES OR FUN.

To learn more about the event and our supporters, please visit www.grandviewfoundation.org/EagleSeekers.

To show your support for Graduate Medical Education today, you can donate to Eagle Seekers online here: www.ketteringhealth.org/GiveGrandview.
