3. Hyperbaric medicine,
also known as hyperbaric
oxygen therapy, is a medical
treatment that increases the
amount of oxygen in the
patient’s blood, promoting
healing. Originally used
for treating decompression
sickness in scuba divers,
it has been found to have
medical applications
for serious infections, air
bubbles in the blood vessels
and wounds that do not
heal as a result of radiation,
injury or diabetes.
What is
Hyperbaric
Medicine?
(L to R) Steven Phillips
and Dr. James Slaby

“I knew right then things were going
to come together,”explained Steven
Phillips, recounting his decision to seek
treatment locally to repair tissue
damage caused by radiation therapy.
“Why would I go 100 miles round trip
when I could go to Wooster, to a facility
that fit me perfectly?”
After undergoing surgery, chemother-
apy and radiation therapy for a cancer
diagnosis, Mr. Phillips was faced with
tissue damage caused by the radiation
treatments. A visiting nurse suggested
he look into hyperbaric medicine to
heal the damage, and recommended
Wooster Community Hospital’s Wound
Healing Center.
As a patient at the center, Phillips
connected with Dr. James Slaby, a
specialist in plastic and reconstructive
surgery for those who have undergone
radiation therapy and developed
non-healing radiation ulcers. The two
found an instant rapport.
Phillips’experience with the staff
at the Wound Healing Center
elicits the same enthusiasm. He
explains that he spent so much
time there everyone began to
feel like
family.“My
last session —
when I walked
out,
they were all lined up in the hallway
and I got to thank all of them. I can’t
say enough good things about
everyone there.”
Julia Fishburn BSN, RN, coordinates
care for patients at the center.
“The goal is for the patient to
truly understand the plan
of care, which makes
communication between
healthcare providers and
patients so important in
getting the best result,”
she said. Steven was
impressed with that
communication and
shares,“I don’t want to go through
it again, but if I had to, this would
be the place to do it.”Mr. Phillips’
wife was also a patient at the center,
treated for a lack of blood flow due
to radiation.“It worked for her, too,”
Phillips explains.
Dr. Slaby described Phillips’situation:
“Sometimes after radiation therapy,
you can develop damage to the
surgical incision which leads to a
non-healing radiation ulcer. Not
everyone has these problems, but
when it occurs, it is difficult to treat.”
Slaby was consulted because of
the need for additional surgery
with complex muscle flaps for
reconstruction. She said he used the
hyperbaric chamber both before and
after the complex muscle flap surgery
to improve the wound in order to
offer a better chance for healing.
He summed up the benefits of his
collaboration with the hospital’s
treatment and surgical facilities:“It’s
great that we can do this type of
complex surgery and hyperbaric
oxygen treatment in our small
community, offering advanced care
right here at home.”

Wooster Community Hospital (WCH)
Chaplain, Terry McLaughlin, was
doing his rounds one day last April
when he felt a sharp pain between
his shoulder blades. He soon found
himself in the emergency room (ER).
A heart catheterization, performed by
Dr. Cyril Ofori at WCH, showed serious
blockage in his left anterior artery,
known as“the widow maker.”
A couple days later, Dr. Daniel Newton
of the Wooster Heart Group placed
a stent in McLaughlin’s artery at
another area hospital.“Everything
was just top-notch,”said McLaughlin.
“I was extremely happy that a
Wooster Heart Group physician was
able to do the procedure at another
facility. But it would have been much
more convenient if I could have had it
done right here [at WCH] while I was
on the table for the catheterization.
The longer you wait, the more your
mind starts to torture you.”
Soon patients like McLaughlin won’t
have to leave town for angioplasties
and stents. The hospital plans to add
two new catheterization labs (cath
labs) in early 2016, and is already
training nursing staff and the hospital
medicine specialists to assist with
the procedures.
With a fellowship in interventional
cardiology and 12 years of experience
under his belt, Dr. Newton is well
equipped to head up the new
program.“It is unusual and very
exciting for a hospital, and for me
personally, to start a program
like this,”said Newton.“Every
interventional cardiologist’s dream is
to start a program for a hospital that
doesn’t have one—to help the
community in that way.”
“About 50-80 patients come into the
ER with acute heart attacks each year,”
Newton said.“These are the folks
who will benefit most from the new
procedures.”Currently these patients
must be transported 35-40 miles to a
larger hospital.
“We think this is unacceptable if we
can change it. With a heart attack,
every minute counts,”said Dr. Cyril
Ofori, a cardiologist with the Wooster
Heart Group.“Time is muscle.”Ofori
noted that hundreds of patients with
less acute symptoms also have to
travel for these procedures.
“About 15 years ago, WCH established
the cath lab with a goal of providing
heart caths and the eventual goal
of doing angioplasty so we could
have revascularization and timely
intervention for people with heart
disease,”said Ofori.“Studies over the
past ten years have demonstrated
the safety of doing these procedures
in hospitals like ours, and we have
demonstrated our ability to do
caths here as it served Terry. We will
be well-positioned to do these
procedures.”
“This will markedly improve the
service we offer to the community,”
said Ofori.“Everyone here is very
excited.”

Thanks to Wooster Community
Hospital’s affiliation with The James
Cancer Network at The Ohio State
University Comprehensive Cancer
Center – James Cancer Hospital
and Solove Research Institute
(OSUCCC – James) , residents of
Wayne County and the surrounding
area have more options than ever for
treating life-threatening conditions
like melanoma, kidney cancer and
lung cancer.
Immunotherapy—the use of
treatments that assist the body’s
immune system in fighting off
disease—is fast becoming a first line
of defense against these cancers.
Two drugs used in immunotherapy
are Keytruda (pembrolizumab)
and Opdivo (nivolumab) both of
which are“PD1 drugs”. They have
demonstrated such promising results
in clinical trials, that in September
and December of 2014 respectively,
they were fast-tracked for approval
by the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) for treating melanoma.
Originally, both drugs were indicated
for use in patients with advanced
or inoperable melanoma who had
already been treated with other
drugs or whose tumors expressed a
gene mutation known as BRAF V600.
However, as Dr. Thomas Olencki of the
OSUCCC – James (also referred to as
“The James”) is quick to point out, the
results of clinical trials with Opdivo
have proved to be so promising that
what was at first considered a“plan
B”drug is now being used from the
point of diagnosis—in place of
previously used traditional
treatments. Dr. Olencki explains,
“Now that we know that the PD1
drugs are give better disease control
and overall survival, we are using the
PD1 drugs first.”
In March of this year, the FDA expanded
its approval of the use of Opdivo to
include treatment for advanced lung
cancer—good news for those who are
being newly diagnosed.“These drugs
have very few side effects,”Olencki says.
Previously,“If you’d ever thought about treating a patient with no
side effects - no one would not believe you.” It is anticipated that
Opdivo will have FDA approval for treating kidney cancer patients
in November of this year.
Oncologist M. Mansoor Alam, M.D., an OSUCCC – James
medical oncologist practicing at Wooster Community Hospital
shares Dr. Olencki’s enthusiasm for PD1 drugs such as Opdivo.
“The outcomes are a significant leap over current treatment,”
he states.“ the PD1 drugs have shown significant survival
improvement in lung cancer and melanoma patients over
conventional treatment.”
Alam points out that WCH’s affiliation with The James Cancer
Network benefits melanoma and lung cancer patients in our
community by bringing new drugs like Opdivo and other
innovative treatments
to our own backyard.
Additionally, by taking
advantage of telemedi-
cine (the use of technology,
including communication
technology, to provide
health care at a distance),
specialists such as
Alam—along with their
patients—can confer with
collaborating physicians
at any time.
“One can speak with and
share the experience of
experts in melanoma and
lung cancer”without
having to travel, Alam
says. This“local”approach to treatment fits Wooster
Community Hospital’s mission to provide accessible, quality
healthcare services to all people.
“That’s one of the things we are trying to help the community
understand,”says CEO Bill Sheron.“People feel like they have
to go to a major city to access a high level of care. We’d like
them to realize that high-quality care already comes to them,
right here in Wayne County—right here in Wooster. We are
really excited about our collaboration with The James and
the things that can happen here. Whenever possible, we are
bringing the care to the patient, often utilizing telemedicine
to link the patient directly with a team that is collaborating in
their treatment.”

The James Cancer Network are bringing cutting-edge cancer
treatment to Wayne County, contact Wooster Medical

6. ACCEPTING

The Level II Special Care Nursery
opened in early 2015 and has
provided care for many
newborn babies. The Level II is
a collaboration between
Wooster Community Hospital
(WCH) and Akron Children’s
Hospital (ACH) to operate
its special care nursery for
premature and moderately ill
babies. Angie Chapman, RN,
Assistant Manager of theWomen’s
Pavilion at WCH speaks highly of
the Special Care Nursery saying,
“Previously, babies requiring
additional care were transported
to the main campus at Akron
Children’s Hospital. The traveling
was difficult for moms and their
families at a time when bonding
is essential. By providing the
Special Care Nursery, we have
helped keep our moms and
babies together in their home
community.”
Since January, specially trained
nurses and physicians have
cared for infants born pre-
maturely but are at least 32
weeks and at three pounds, five
ounces. WCH has everything
required to care for babies with
moderate/temporary breathing
or eating problems or other
complications.

While giving birth is as old as
civilization itself, the means and
methods have changed significantly
over the years. In the past few years,
delivery doctors at the WCH Women’s
Pavilion are seeing a more educated,
thoughtful mom who often
approaches childbirth with a plan.
“These are women who have
educated themselves during
pregnancy, with childbirth classes
and online information, to come up
with a birth plan,”said Dr. Emily
Benekos, who has been delivering
babies at WCH for almost 18 years.
“The nursing staff and physicians at
WCH offer flexibility in the labor and
delivery experience to accommodate
birth plans and respect the laboring
woman’s wishes,”said Benekos.“We
have the personal touch and close
to home feel of a smaller hospital,
and we offer immediate care for any
unplanned complications.”
Tara Raudebaugh, RN and Women’s
Pavilion Manager, agrees that women
giving birth today are more educated
and involved in their delivery. “We’re
seeing a trend toward more natural
childbirth,”said Raudebaugh,“and
we want women to know that we can
tailor their experience to what they
want and still have all safety measures
in place. It’s the best of both worlds.”
Beginning with labor, theWomen’s
Pavilion offers many natural ways to
help a patient progress as pain
and intervention free as possible.
“Birthing balls, movement during labor,
a birthing tub and breathing/coaching/
partner support”are all great ways to
naturally reduce pain during labor, said
Benekos.
“We encourage the use of a support
person with the mother through
the birth process,”said Raudebaugh.
“Evidence has shown that having
continuous support during labor
results in a more satisfying experience
and may enhance the labor process.
Supportive care may involve comfort
measures, emotional support, and
providing information.”
While WCH does not have midwives,
they do offer one-on-one patient care
during labor and delivery.“Patients
appreciate this continuity of care.
Women get to know their doctors
and nurses well,”said Benekos.
Dr. Rebecca Russell, current Chairperson
for the OB/GYN Department, agreed
that the“personal touch”is very
important.“I think we do a good job
of delivering top quality care but
maintaining that personal connection
to our patients.”
Vaginal births after cesarean delivery
are offered and encouraged, said
Benekos. “We are actively reducing
our c-section rate by offering and
encouraging more vaginal birth after
cesarean.”
Induction and labor tears are also
of concern, said Russell. “We are
allowing more time for labor to
progress naturally and working
to reduce sphincter tears. We are
encouraging more natural labors
except in the cases where waiting
for labor to occur puts the mother or
baby at risk.”
After delivery,“we encourage skin
to skin for at least a full hour
uninterrupted,”said Raudebaugh.
“We also promote rooming in. We
have a lactation specialist on staff to
help with breastfeeding. A lactation
consultant is also available to meet
with patients after discharge
regardless if they have delivered
at WCH or elsewhere.
“The health, safety and satisfaction
of our mothers and babies are
the top priorities,”said Tara.“The
physicians and nurses work hard to
ensure that all women are making
informed choices about their birth
experience.”

On a pleasant late October day 87
year-old Arleen Amstutz was on her
riding mower headed to close a gate
on her farm. Unfortunately, she was
suddenly thrown from the mower and
this is how she described her reaction
to the accident,“As I laid on the grass
and watched that mower continue
on its way, I prayed that it would not
make it to Route 30 and cause an
accident. I got up and tried to run after
the mower until it made a turn into
a cornfield and got tangled in the
cornstalks,”explained Arleen.
After the accident, Arleen had to deal
with the trauma to her 14 year-old
right replacement knee. Eventually
she healed, and felt well until she
slipped and fell. This time, the knee
was badly damaged and needed to
be replaced. Arleen returned to
her orthopedic surgeon and was
immediately scheduled for knee
surgery. The surgery went well, and
when she was discharged, she was
told to continue her recovery by
finding the best Inpatient Rehabilitation,
in the Wayne County area. Her son,
Mike Amstutz, accompanied
his mother on her search, and when
they arrived at Wooster Community
Hospital’s Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit
they knew they had found the right
place. Mike was enthusiastic in his
praise of their visit to the unit when he
said,“They couldn’t have been more
welcoming – the nurses and physical
therapists gave us a tour and they
were gracious, insightful and spent
a lot of time explaining their goals in
working with patients. Our decision to
be admitted there turned out to be the
best medical experience ever, and for
that we are extremely grateful.”
Patients of the rehabilitation unit
receive physical therapy (PT) in the
morning and afternoon, and each
patient’s therapy is designed for their
individual needs. The patients enjoy
getting to know one another while
having lunch and dinner together.
Arleen said,“I had to work very hard
in PT and it wasn’t always easy or
painless. The physical therapists push
you to the limit but they are so kind
and gentle that they make you want
to do better each time. We had some
fun learning how to adjust to using the
kitchen and we got to make Christmas
candy and Christmas cards as part of
our therapy. I was so determined to be
home for Christmas that I worked as
hard as I could.”Mrs. Amstutz’s physical
therapist, KellyYarman describes her
patient as“determined and without
complaints or demands. She was a joy
of a patient who was always upbeat
and positive. One day, I could see
she wasn’t feeling well, so I decided
to change my care plan and I just
massaged her. She told me that she
prayed someone would send her an
angel to make her feel better and then
I appeared. Imagine how uplifted I felt!
Working with Arleen Amstutz for a
week was about as good as it gets!”
The Amstutz family was together for
Christmas Eve, and dinner was served
to thirty-five people with a lot of help
from her two sons and their families.
Arleen continued to have outpatient
therapy from WCH therapists at the
HealthPoint facility and has full use of
her knee and has no pain.
Today Arleen is fully recovered and is
thrilled to return to mowing her five
acres of grass on her brand new riding
lawn mower.
Frederick Vannewkirkis no stranger to
Wooster Community Hospital (WCH) where he has
been hospitalized several times for medical reasons.
He describes his most recent hospitalization as a
totally different experience:“During my previous
hospitalizations, I always felt as if I was not quite ready
to be discharged. With my recent stay, I was told I
needed extended care, which to me meant‘nursing
home.’ I was so pleased to learn that I could be moved
to the Transitional Care Unit (TCU) at WCH. While in
the TCU I had such a high level of care. The therapy
professionals were top notch and helped me a lot with
balance issues. I was on what is a usually boring low-
salt diet, but the food was delicious. The employees
were never too busy to take time to stop and talk
with me. I really enjoyed the programs offered by the
activities director, and when the time came for my
discharge, I was ready to go home.”
Matilda Wentzhad hip replacement surgery in
Findlay, Ohio, but when the time came for rehabilitation,
there was no hospital-based extended care. She knew
that WCH’s TCU recently received an award by US News
and World Report as a Best Nursing Home facility and de-
cided to choose the unit for her rehabilitation needs. Mrs.
Wentz said,“I would give the TCU an A plus grade. I could
see that all the patients got the same excellent care. When
a patient called for a nurse, the response was always
quick, and our needs were attended to right away.”Matil-
da Wentz is now home and ready to walk independently.
A Full Recovery Thanks to Exceptional Rehabilitation
“Both patients were
prepared in every possible
way for a safe discharge. We
want all our patients to have
the confidence needed to re-
turn back to their prior levels
of function, it’s our priority.”
— Stacey Viar,
Occupational Therapist at TCU
“I had to work very hard

PRETZEL SQUARES
WITH RED PEPPER SAUCE
Staying active is easy for husband and
wife Drs. Jeffrey Wunning and Jeanna
Fascione, and their dog Jax. The two
former competitive collegiate track
and cross country runners love to stay
fit by running, biking, and strength
training year-round.
They first met at the Dr. William M.
Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine in
North Chicago, Illinois nearly ten years
ago. Fascione, originally from North
Royalton Ohio, completed her residency
training with additional certification
in reconstructive rearfoot and ankle
surgery in Chicago, and has since
been practicing in the Northeast Ohio
suburbs. She is looking forward to
joining the Wooster community this
summer. “Wooster is a growing
community with a lot to offer. I can’t
wait to get involved, meet new people,
and check out the local bike trails.”
Dr. Wunning, originally from Illinois,
also completed his residency training
in Chicago. He was attracted to the
Wooster area after completing his
advanced reconstructive foot and
ankle surgical fellowship through
University Hospitals Health System
in Ohio. He has already begun
practicing as a physician in the
community and is getting to know
many people in the area. He enjoys
training with a running group in town
and has participated in a number of
local running events.
Drs.Wunning and Fascione became
interested in medicine while running
competitively during high school and
college. Wunning recalled,“I remember
getting injured and seeing a podiatrist.
I later shadowed him and discovered
I enjoyed learning about medicine
and helping others. Fascione added,“I
know first-hand how challenging it can
be as an athlete to get injured. It was
from being injured that I became so
passionate about getting people back
to being healthy and active.”
With their practice, the Foot and Ankle
Centre, Drs.Wunning and Fascione
plan to become the primary place in
the area to get foot and ankle care.
Wunning says,“We are carrying on the
tradition of excellence at the Foot and
Ankle Centre that Dr. Richard Ransom
started in 1986. With Jeanna’s and my
medical training our goal is to provide
comprehensive treatment for all foot
and ankle problems.” They want to
serve the entire population from
children to senior citizens. Not only
do they enjoy treating athletes, they
also have special interests in foot and
ankle trauma, arthritis, overuse injuries,
reconstructive surgery, lower extremity
deformities, orthotics, diabetic foot
care, and wound care.
Wunning also expressed how excited
he is to practice with his wife.“It will be
very rewarding working together; she
will be a great addition to not only the
practice but also the community.”
Both physicians will also be working
at the hospital utilizing its facilities
to treat patients. I have found the
facilities to be excellent and the hospital
staff exceptional, said Wunning. “I am
really looking forward to extending our
services and working with the hospital
staff,”added Fascione.
