Story by Christina Kerosoma

In November, First Lady Fran DeWine visited Soin Medical Center and Kettering Health Greene Memorial to show her appreciation for our commitment to the community.

Soin Medical Center’s Mother/Baby Unit enrolls newborns in the Imagination Library program, which sends a free book each month to children of enrolled families. DeWine is a large proponent of the program and heads Ohio’s Imagination Library efforts. During her tour of Soin, she visited the Mother/Baby Unit, thanked employees for their support, and met a family and their newborn baby Jace.

In 2021, Adventist HealthCare’s The Lourie Center for Children’s Social & Emotional Health was awarded a five-year, $2 million dollar grant to implement Family Attachment-focused Services, Treatment, & Training (FASTT) in Montgomery and Prince George’s County.

The grant was awarded from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the University of Maryland School of Social Work will serve as a third-party evaluation and assessment partner.

“If we’re going to give ourselves over to the service of God, then we best position ourselves to do so by caring for our bodies,” said C. J. Cousins, associate pastor
of Potomac Conference’s Vienna (Va.) church, speaking on spiritual health.
