2002
Celebrate 10 years of running, walking, wellness,
community spirit and support of Lakewood Hospital
at the Ambulance Chase on Sunday, May 1.
“This is a fabulous event, not to be missed,” notes event co-chair Joe Gibbons.
“The Ambulance Chase is for all, from the youngest among us in the Children’s
Chase to participants well into their eighties. And the bonus is the difference that
has been made in patient care at Lakewood Hospital due to the funds raised
from the event over the years.”
2003
2004
Since its inception in 2002, the Ambulance Chase has generated nearly $300,000 for
a myriad of programs and services at Lakewood Hospital, ranging from SeniorCare
Services to Teen Health Center to the emergency department. In keeping with
Lakewood Hospital’s Vision for Tomorrow, this year’s event will benefit patients in
need of post-acute rehabilitation and outpatient physical, occupational, and speech
therapy services, as well as several other initiatives.
“Walk or run, 5K or 1.5 miles, volunteer or participant… it doesn’t matter what you
do, just come join us on May 1!” exclaims Chas Geiger, event co-chair. “And help
to support patient care at our community hospital- Lakewood Hospital.”

Contributions at Work: Helping Newborns and Moms in Distress
A portion of the funds raised through last year’s Ambulance Chase was used to
purchase a maternal and newborn simulator to be used collaboratively by Lakewood
Hospital’s Birthing Center and Respiratory Therapy Department. This lifelike device
is used to practice emergency situations that may occur during and after childbirth.
Such situations are less frequent at Lakewood Hospital; however, it is vital that
staff have the skills necessary in the event a life-threatening situation occurs for
a mother and/or infant.
The addition of the maternal and newborn simulator will raise staff educational
opportunities to a new level. Trainers will have the ability to program certain scenarios
to teach staff how to handle a variety of situations. Because an actual delivery can
be simulated, staff members become well prepared with the proper knowledge to
assess and respond to unanticipated issues that may occur throughout the entire
childbirth process.
“Members of the response team will have
practice drills and learn from one another,”
notes Lynn Barabach, nurse manager of
the Birthing Center. “We will specifically be
conducting drills for emergency situations
that infrequently occur during childbirth
such as neonatal and maternal resuscitation,
thus enhancing skills not used very often.
Ultimately, these drills will lead to improved
patient care.”
This represents just one way in which Lakewood Hospital Foundation works with the
hospital in using donor contributions to put patients first. For more information on
how to support the work of Lakewood Hospital, call 216.529.7009.
Spirit of Giving recognizes contributions made to Lakewood Hospital Foundation, and keeps donors and friends informed of the stewardship of these gifts. If you have a comment about this issue or would

Profile in Giving:
Walter and Mary Jean Hagen
After more than 60 years of marriage, Walter and
Mary Jean (MJ) Hagen of Westlake admit they
have their differences. He’s a golfer, she’s given
it up. She’s a Blossom Shop volunteer at
Lakewood Hospital, he’s not. But when it
comes to their dedication to Lakewood
Hospital, they agree 100 percent.
“We just feel it’s a worthy cause,” MJ explains.
Besides her service in the Blossom Shop, she is
proud to have been a member of the hospital’s Children’s
Board since 1971, making her one of the board’s longestserving members. She still fondly recalls the friend from their Rocky River neighborhood
who invited her to join the Children’s Board, an invitation that has brought her 40 years of
friendships and personal satisfaction.
Wally, who retired from Glidden Corp. in 1985 and from a second career as president
of a mobile CT and MRI scanner business in 1997, was a long-time member of the
Fairview Hospital Board and he currently is an honorary member of the Community
West Foundation Board. He gives all the credit for serious involvement in Lakewood
Hospital projects to his wife. “She is the one who has been involved all these years.”
Together, they enjoy attending many of Lakewood Hospital Foundation’s events.
With MJ’s activities at Lakewood Hospital and Wally’s involvement with Fairview
Hospital and the Community West Foundation, they count supporters of the hospital
and many members of the medical and administrative staffs among their friends,
and the foundation’s special events give them a welcome opportunity to catch up.
Beyond the special events, the Hagens also agree on the importance of regularly
supporting the hospital. They are fortunate to not have required very many of the
hospital’s medical services themselves, but believe passionately in its mission.
They have given generously to the hospital every year for more than 20 years,
supporting the annual campaign, special projects and capital campaigns, along
with the events. They recently established an endowment fund and have included
Lakewood Hospital in their estate plan, making them members of Lakewood Hospital
Foundation’s Graber Society as well as the Founder’s Council, which recognizes
cumulative giving.
“We make the decisions together on what organizations to support,” says Wally.
In addition to Lakewood Hospital, they also are donors to the Community West
Foundation where they are members of the Legacy Society and their church,
Rocky River United Methodist.
As for Lakewood Hospital’s future, that’s something else the Hagens agree on.
“The hospital is here to stay,” Hagens say. “We like the direction Lakewood Hospital is
moving; to control healthcare costs while providing high quality and compassionate care
in this day and age, hospitals have to be more strategic. Lakewood seems to be doing
things right, and we continue to endorse their efforts.”
Charitable Bequest
What if you could make a gift that would grow into a legacy...to help today, tomorrow
and beyond? Think of the impact your generous gesture could make on the health and
well-being of the community.
It’s entirely possible, and there are dozens of ways to make it happen. Your legacy gift
can be a modest donation or a substantial transfer of assets. More than 70 percent of
Americans contribute to nonprofit groups of their choice during their lifetimes. Yet fewer
than 9 percent of these generous people remember to continue this support through a
charitable bequest.
What is a Charitable Bequest?
A bequest or gift by Will is the simplest way of making a gift to Lakewood Hospital
Foundation. It is a convenient and effective way for you to leave a lasting legacy.
A bequest also ensures that patients served by Lakewood Hospital are able to
continue to receive the best care possible for generations to come.
What are the Benefits?
Convenient – A charitable bequest can be made no matter how old you are and in
any amount that you wish.
Simple – A charitable bequest is easy to arrange. Simply instruct your attorney to
include a bequest to Lakewood Hospital Foundation in your Will.
Cost-Effective – Your gift is given from your assets, and hence, your present
income will not decrease.
Tax Advantages – A charitable bequest is a highly effective way to reduce estate taxes.
Flexible – Your bequest can be for a specific amount, a percentage of your estate,
or the residue of your estate (a gift after your debts, taxes and specific legacies
have been paid).
Control – You retain use of all of your assets for the duration of your lifetime.
Peace of Mind – You can make changes to your Will at any time.
How Do I Make a Bequest?
Making a bequest is simple. If you have already prepared your Will, your attorney can
update it by adding a supplementary paragraph, describing your gift intentions.
If you have not yet prepared a Will, we recommend that you do so. This is an important
first step to ensure that your intentions for your estate are documented and that your
family and loved ones will be properly cared for.
You may make a specific bequest, which means that you designate a specified amount
to the foundation; or you may make a residual bequest, which means that you designate
all or a percentage of the remaining portion of the estate to the foundation after specific
legacies, debts, taxes, and administrative expenses have been paid.
Let Us Know
We hope you will tell us when you have named Lakewood Hospital Foundation in
your Will. We would very much like the opportunity to thank and recognize you
for your generosity.
For more information on charitable bequests or other gift planning options,
please contact Kristin Broadbent at 216.529.7107 or kbroadbent@ccf.org.
Lakewood Gratefully Receives Large Bequest
Lakewood Hospital Foundation recently received an initial distribution of $1.1 million
from the estate of Colonel Thomas C. McNeal. The bequest is the second-largest
gift to the hospital in its 104-year history and is a partial distribution with an additional
contribution expected upon final settlement of the estate.
“Philanthropy is critical to the future of Lakewood Hospital,” said Kristin Broadbent,
executive director, Lakewood Hospital Foundation. “We are grateful to Colonel McNeal
for his forward-thinking and the legacy he has left, which will help Lakewood Hospital
continue to meet the community’s evolving healthcare needs.”
A career military man, Colonel McNeal was a Cleveland native and spent his final
years back in the area. His estate included residual bequests to 15 local and national
charitable organizations. The story of McNeal is one of very modest background, hard
work, frugal living, and a strong desire to give back to the institutions that cared for
him and that still served his local communities and interests well. Not forgetting the
excellent healthcare he received throughout his life, McNeal’s generosity benefited
four area hospitals.
2
John Kedzior, executor of the estate, noted “Colonel McNeal included these hospitals
because he so valued the healthcare resources here in northeast Ohio and appreciated
the care he received at each of the facilities throughout his lifetime.”
“We are humbled by the magnitude and far-reaching benefits of the McNeal
bequest, which represents one of the largest gifts the foundation has ever received,”
says Ken Haber, president, Lakewood Hospital Foundation.
Lakewood Hospital was founded in 1907 as a gift from Dr. and Mrs. C. Lee Graber.
With this single gift, motivated by deep compassion and a desire to care for the sick,
the Graber’s began a tradition of giving that perseveres more than a century later–
a tradition that supports the provision of local healthcare.
“The generosity of Dr. and Mrs. Graber, along with that of many others, was the
foundation on which Lakewood Hospital was built. And today, that tradition continues–
allowing us to keep in stride with the needs of a changing population and ever-evolving
technology,” notes Haber. “We hope Colonel McNeal’s philanthropic spirit will
continue to inspire others to support our efforts.”
Thank you
Lakewood Hospital Foundation is immensely blessed by the generosity of individuals, corporations and foundations. In turn, we
steward these gifts received, passing your support on to Lakewood Hospital to serve the needs of its patients and the community.
For over 100 years Lakewood Hospital has benefited from the financial support of its friends and neighbors. This tradition of caring
has created a unique institution in the true spirit of partnership with the community. Donor generosity helped build this hospital and
continues to keep it growing today and into the future.

Corporate Partner Spotlight:
Lakewood Senior Health
Campus & O’Neill Management
Ken Haber, President
Cultivating a responsive, compassionate community is the hallmark of O’Neill
Management, a family-run company that has been caring for seniors in west side
suburbs of Cleveland for nearly 50 years.
The company owns and operates four continuum-of-care facilities in the area:
Bradley Bay Health Center, Center Ridge Health Campus, Wellington Place and
Lakewood Senior Health Campus, which it purchased in 2006.
“After extensive renovations, the five-building Lakewood campus is thriving
in its location on Detroit Avenue,” said John T. O’Neill, president of O’Neill
Management, and the second-generation to lead the company which now
employs 150 people in Lakewood and 800 people in northeast Ohio.
“The facility needed a little tender loving care,” said O’Neill. Now Lakewood Senior
Health Campus is an award-winning campus with 150 beds in its skilled nursing
home, 64 assisted living suites, and 60 independent living rooms. “Lakewood
Senior Health Campus is a reflection of Lakewood. It is a place where
Lakewoodites come for short-term or long-term care. It’s a part of the community,
and it serves the community by providing excellent care when the residents
need it – whether it is skilled care, assisted living or independent living.”
Having that connection to the surrounding community is important to O’Neill,
whose father John started the company in 1962 when he built Bradley Bay in Bay
Village. Originally a single-family home builder, John Sr. and his wife Alva worked
together to foster a great philosophy of caring and giving back.
“We have always been a part of our communities and being a part of the hospital
is just something important that we feel we need to do by providing healthcare
within Lakewood,” said O’Neill, who is a trustee of Lakewood Hospital.
“Supporting the hospital just comes naturally to us. There is a great staff and
group of doctors that work at Lakewood Hospital and so when we sponsor
events, we make sure to attend or volunteer, and it’s a fun way to support the
hospital. It also provides an opportunity for our staff members to feel a part
of the Lakewood community.”
In addition to ongoing support of the hospital’s various events, O’Neill and the
company have made a gift commitment to its Vision for Tomorrow: Shaping the
Future campaign.

“Our philanthropic support of Lakewood Hospital is a natural extension of this.”
Thanks Evermore
Each holiday season, at its Distinction in
Philanthropy event, Lakewood Hospital

The Beat Goes On
The Straight from the Heart campaign was once again a huge success…
500 guests at the Red-Tie Gala on February 12 coupled with over 3,300 raffle
tickets sold resulted in an astounding net profit of more than $200,000.
This marks a total of more than $1.4 million that has been raised through this
initiative over the past seven years to support cardiac services at Fairview,
Lakewood, Lutheran and Medina hospitals. These regional Heart Centers provide
the most comprehensive resources available for the prevention, diagnosis and
treatment of heart disease. In partnership with each other and with the Cleveland
Clinic, the hospitals continue to share best practices and resources to ensure
excellence in programs and cardiac outcomes.
Terry Kilbourne, of TEC Inc. Engineering & Design, and his wife Pam, were the
lucky winners of the $100,000 grand prize.
While many others walked away winners, the real winners are the hospitals’
cardiac patients whose care has been enhanced due to the acquisition of new
techniques, technologies and services, and the expansion of community
outreach programs designed to promote heart-healthy living made possible
through funding from Straight from the Heart.
