said Canton Supervisor Phil LaJoy.
"But, we felt a duty to step up and
help by collecting donations to help
these individuals whowere touched
by this tragedy, and we encourage
residents in the Canton Community
to do the same. We hope that the
Moore, Oklahoma community is
able to rebound quickly from this
terrible disaster."

ing process, local organizations

which to concentrate their collec-
tion efforts. Donations of new items

Oakwood executives, physicians
and staff unveiled a $250,000 reno-
vation of the family medicine suite
at Oakwood Healthcare Center -
Canton recently.
The renovation was designed to
create a more comfortable experi-
ence for patients, according to
Richard Grucz, MD, medical direc-
tor of the center. The project includ-
ed the expansion of 18 exam rooms,
along with the addition of private
HIPAA-compliant check-in and
check-out areas. Also, the project
increased the privacy in the physi-
cian andnurseworkspace.
“I couldn't be happier with the
transformation we've had, both
physically and in terms of service,”
Grucz said. “This is just one part of
a series of improvements that start-
ed months ago with same day and
Saturday appointments.”
Oakwood Healthcare Center -
Canton is located at 7330 N. Canton
Center Road, just north of Warren.
Oakwood purchased the property in
1980 and the healthcare center was
constructed shortly afterward.
Along with the medical practices, it
houses the only 24-hour emergency
department inCantonTownship.
Oakwood President and CEO
Brian Connolly said the facility has
come a long way since he first made
the recommendation to purchase
the Canton property nearly 35 years
ago, when he was part of Oakwood's
strategic planning team.
“It's funny how things go full cir-
cle,” Connolly said. “It was so dra-
matic coming in here and seeing the
incredible difference.”
Grucz said the changes would
not have been possible without the
staff, who helped keep patient flow
steady during the construction.
“This is a celebration of all the
progress this practice has made, not
just the renovation,” said Robert
Sharon, MD, chief medical officer
for Oakwood Physicians. “What has
been done here is a model that we'd
like to adopt at all of ourHealthcare
Centers.”
We hope that the Moore,
Oklahoma community is able to
rebound quickly from this terrible disaster.
