Hospitals. We are going to learnall about Ohio Health in Mansfield and Shelby

good morning and thank you for beinghere. How are you today? I
am doing great, good morning,and thanks for having me on the show.
Absolutely excited to learn a little bitabout you. So let's kind of
dive right in. How long haveyou been president of the Mansfield and Shelby
Hospitals. I've been president just aboutseven months here in Mansfield and Shelby.
(00:49):
I've been here a twenty sixteen,twenty seventeen in a year long role as
an interim over the medical staff.But this is now seven months in this
area in the long men, howlong have you been a doctor? Give
us a little bit of your background. Yeah, so I grew up in
Lima, Ohio. Wanted to bea doctor since about the sixth grade,
so went through high school at EliahHigh School there and went to Mount Vernon
(01:12):
Nazarene University for my undergrad and thenonto Ohio State for my medical degree.
I always wanted to be a doctorin a small community, so in the
family medicine, and trained at Riversidefor my residency. So I loved it
to hear people's stories. You mentionedyou knew in the sixth grade you wanted
to be a doctor. Was itsomebody in the family, something you saw?
(01:34):
What was it that kind of sparkedthat interest. Yeah, I did
a oral report on the heart,and so in kind of researching that and
studying that open heart surgeries were around, I read a couple of things about
that and just made me really interestedin thinking about medicine and helping out a
community in that way. Really coolto everybody's story. As we hear from
(01:56):
doctor Kirk Gingrich this morning, heis the president of Ohio Health Mansfield and
Shelby Hospitals. He's this week's CEO. You should know, so when you
were going to be a doctor,you know, everybody specializes, So talk
about I guess for you as adoctor when you went out of college and
then you graduated of course, andyou started working. I guess where all
(02:19):
do you specialize? Yeah? SoI was a family physician by training.
I did my family medicine residency atRiverside Methodist Hospital with Ohio Health and was
always going to go to a smallcommunity. So in my last year of
residency, received a tape in themail that I'll tell you how old it
is, a VHS tape and abouta community in rural Indiana called Logan Sport,
(02:40):
Indiana. So my wife and Iended up out there in practice,
and I did all of the oldtime family medicine stuff. So I delivered
babies to take care patients in thehospital, did home business, had my
office practice and nursing home rounds,and did that for about seven or eight
years, and found I missed teaching, So ended up back to my mentor
in my residency program at Riverside inthe day prior he had announced he was
(03:05):
leaving to pursue a different opportunity.So ended up interviewing and coming back to
teach at Riverside. That was intwo thousand and one, and I've been
with Ohio Health since. All right, so a lot of different roles.
Did you ever think, you knowwhen you were, you know, becoming
a doctor. You mentioned some teachings. Did you ever think you would be
the president of a hospital thing likethat. I did not, That was
not in the career pathway plan.But as doors opened and found that I
(03:30):
had some skills along that way tohelp. What I would say is,
as a family physician, you interpretwhat the specialists say to the patients and
what the patients say to the specialists, and so in a role of our
president, you're working in the communityto make sure there's needs are being met,
understanding them and taking that information backinto the hospital to allow the teams
(03:50):
to meet those needs more effectively.So being back in Manfield and Shelby,
it allows me to really connect tothat regional healthcare, real healthcare approach and
do that within the context of thecomplexity of a system that has a lot
of resources to help meet those needs. We're chatting this morning learning all about
doctor Kirk Gingrich, who is thisweek's CEO. You should know he's the
(04:14):
president of Ohio Health Mansfield and ShelbyHospitals. Well, let's talk about the
hospitals here locally. I always youknow, when I chat with people like
you, who are you know,helping run an organization, a hospital,
two of them, you know,very very you know, big operations,
a lot of staff and all ofthat. But what kind of makes you
guys special? Talk about the specialtycare and all the things that make the
(04:34):
hospitals Mansfield Shelby special here locally.Yeah, thanks for giving me that opportunity.
So the first thing is we're buildingon the legacy of Mansfield Hospital and
Shelby Hospital separately. They've been inthe community for over one hundred years,
and b as Ohio Health, we'veintegrated with that and continue to carry on
that legacy for about ten years now. And in those ten years, the
(04:57):
ability to really invest into the theinfrastructure, into the associates has really shown
a lot of growth. We've beenable to invest about two hundred and sixty
million dollars of capital into buildings andprograms. We've grown by about two hundred
associates from where we were as Mansfieldand Shelby Hospitals separately as it became part
of Ohio Health, have thirty twodifferent locations and really serve a six county
(05:23):
area as a main focus. Weget patients from several other counties as well
as a tertiary care hospital, butwe focus on Richland County, Crawford County,
Huron County, Ashland, Homes andKnox Counties. Actually, Mansfield is
the third largest hospital in the OhioHealth System at three hundred and twenty five
beds, and then Shelby is atwenty five bed critical access hospital that focuses
(05:45):
a lot on outpatient care. ButI'd say the programs and things we've been
able to grow over the last tenyears have really focused on heart and vascular.
We're doing things that you don't seein most regional hospitals, such as
a procedure called tavern, which isplacing an artificial heart valve into the heart
through what would be like a heartcatheterization rather than an open heart surgery.
(06:09):
We're approaching our three hundredth procedure ofthat here, probably later this year.
We also have a very robust traumaprogram, the only real certified trauma program
in about a sixty mile radius.Added emergency room care as we looked at
needs in the community. So wehave a free standing emergency room in Ashland
and a free standing emergency room inOntario to supplement what is at Mansfield and
(06:31):
Shelby. And then are really growingour women's health program. Women's health is
an interesting piece in our community.As our community ages, women are tending
to have babies later in life,which increases the risk of complication. So
we've added a twenty four to sevenin house OB that supports OB's in the
(06:51):
community that they can be in theiroffices seeing patients and someone is there if
there's an emergency if they cannot getthere in time. Older style of calling
in the OB and having them raceto the hospital doesn't have to happen anymore,
and we've seen some really significant savesif you will, both moms and
babies over the year that we've hadthat program. And we also supplement it
(07:14):
with a nationwide children's hospital pediatrician who'sthere to take care of that infinite if
there's any issues as well. Soreally trying to understand the needs in the
community and build programs around that sothat patients can stay local and don't have
to travel outside of Richson County tobe able to get their care. Great
conversation this morning learning all about OhioHealth, Mansfield and Shelby Hospitals with the
(07:36):
President and that is doctor Kirk Gingrichieis this week's CEO. You should know
I'll throw you this question next.I know for my line of work in
terms of broadcasting, things have changedwith technology. We can broadcast from just
about anywhere with technology, and Iknow in the healthcare field, boy,
technology has become a huge game changer, right. It sure has everything from
(07:59):
elect tronic medical records to telehealth.I'll give you one example of that.
We are a primary care stroke certifiedcenter, meaning that emergency squads and things
that happen in the home or inthe field come into this center and we
have the ability to link with avery specialized stroke physician if they're able to
(08:20):
review and decide if they can actuallyretrieve and pull out that clot so that
patient gets evaluated within that whole system, and many times can be kept local
and if they need that very specializedcare, we can move them down to
Riverside Methodist Hospital for that care.Most of that care stays local because of
just the very narrow nature of thatand the complexity of the care we can
(08:43):
provide. So technology is added alot. We have virtual visits, the
ability to sign up for a doctor'sappointment through our care connect, our electronic
medical records, so a lot ofways in which we can connect with individuals
and get them to the right levelof care that they need. And while
we're talking about you know, makingappointments, information all of that, it's
as simple as going to OhioHealth dotcom. Right, you get on the
(09:05):
Mansfield Hospital and you can do that, you know, smartphone, tablet all
of that correct exactly, OhioHealth dotcom and backslash Mansfield will get you to
the landing page with the information andyou can find a doctor there to look
for doctors that are accepting new patients. All the information you really need from
that standpoint. And then as you'rea part of the Ohio Health System and
(09:26):
Mansfield Hospital, when you're on careConnect, that app is on your phone
as well, so you can haveyour chart right there with you if you
need to see other physicians. Allright, terrific information this morning. A
couple more minutes and we'll let himgo. Busy guy, but we're glad
he's able to spend a few minuteswith us. This week's CEO you should
know is doctor Kurk Gingrichie is thepresident of Ohio Health, Mansfield and Shelby
(09:48):
Hospitals. Now to put you onthe spot. Can you ballpark the amount
of employees for Ohio Health Mansfield Shelby. I know you guys are one of
If not, then you know thelargest within the area. Do you have
a ball park number on employees.Yeah, we have around twenty eight hundred
associates between the two facilities and thenour outpatient practice facilities as well. We
(10:09):
have a total of about eight hundredproviders between the two hospitals. Of those
that are kind of full time focusingon Mansfield and Shelby, about four hundred
and thirty of those. The restare some of those telehealth physicians and other
physicians that fill in for very subspecialized care, so they come in and
help support care so patients don't haveto travel. But those are the numbers
(10:31):
that we have right now on thebooks. Now, Doctor gin Rich,
we talked about where you were fromand many other things you mentioned. I
think believe you said Lima correct,Yeah, that's correct, right, and
went to Alight to high school.So you're a bulldog then, correct,
I'm a bulldog all right. I'vecovered some Turnavent games against the lighte F
(10:52):
called a basketball game at the AlidaFieldhouse. So as we learned a little
bit about you. I don't knowif your married, children, anything like
that. Tell us a bit moreabout doctor Kirk Gingrich and the family.
Yeah, so I have a wifeof thirty five years. She grew up
in Lima as well. We starteddating three days after she turned sixteen,
because that's when she was allowed tostart dating, and data for about five
(11:13):
years. Have been married since.We have two children. One is a
professor of engineering at a small collegeout in northwest of Iowa, been there
for two years now. And ourdaughter got married about a year ago.
Lives in the Indianapolis area and isworking for an after school program. All
right, terrific to learn about thefamily. Now when you are not working,
(11:35):
What kind of hobbies do you havewhen you're away from where and you
have from spare time? Yeah,I really enjoy golfing. Do not get
to do that as much as Iwould like. So hoping to get at
that again here a little more thissummer. And then the centering thing for
my wife and I is to behiking or in the woods in a cabin
doing that. Really have a preferencefor the Smokey's in the Appalachian mountains,
(11:58):
So spending a lot of time inGeorgia, North Carolina area, hiking in
the mountains. All right, awesometo learn the whole story about doctor Kirk
Gingrich again this week's CEO you shouldknow, president of OhioHealth, Mansfield and
Shelby Hospitals. By the way,Shellby located on West Main Street and Mansfield
on Glessner Avenue, Doctor ging Rich. Before I let you go, I
(12:20):
wanted to bring this up. Wetalked about technology, and I know recently
you guys are receiving I think bothhospitals some new breathing machines, but I
know you know, keeping up todate on the current and we talk about
technology all those kind of things.That's a very important thing as well.
It sure is. If we're goingto function as a system between Mansfield and
Shelby and our free staying eds,we need to have good technology to keep
(12:43):
those patients local. And we dothat through both our routine capital that we
have about five to six million ayear that we spend on upgrading technology,
robotic surgery, those types of things, and then also then the larger capital
as we upgrade our facilities, arecontinually looking for and building out one to
two years in advance the types ofthings that we need to make sure that
(13:05):
we can keep care local. Oneof those examples I would use by ken
Real Quick is our mobile homography unit, and we were able to with support
from the community through philanthropy, placea unit up in the northern area here
so these counties and get access forpatients who normally either can't come to the
hospital or choose not to or unableto because of their work. So we
(13:28):
show up at many employers at manyevents and are seeing a significant number of
people who have not received a mammogramin the past to screen for cancer being
able to get that care. Soexcited to always look at ways in which
we can get that care and thataccess closer to where people live. Now,
before I let you go, isthere anything that we didn't touch on
you want to make the public awareof about Ohio Health, Mansfoot and Shelby.
(13:52):
I think we've covered most of it. The only thing I would add
is this is Nurses Week and sojust really appreciative of all of the care
that both are clinical and non clinical. Associates give a lot of opportunities.
We've created a really good culture forpeople who come in and want to find
a place to work and have acareer, and so would encourage people to

(14:16):
