Ohio’s First Lady Fran DeWine Visits Kettering Health

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.

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.

December 25, 2021: The Best Gift

“One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed” (Prov. 11:24–25, NIV).

For me, Christmas has always been a time of immense gratitude for all that God has done in my life.

Serving the Mission Field Close to Home

Story by Christina Keresoma

COVID-19’s impact is still being felt around the world. Changes were made to accommodate new routines, and unfortunately, sometimes the economic toll was just too heavy, causing many businesses to close their doors. One of the most tragic losses caused by the pandemic was charities who serve those in need. Reach Out Montgomery County, who served the uninsured in the Dayton area, lost funding in the wake of COVID-19 and had no other choice but close. This meant that many adults had lost an important support system and source of medical care.
