She shares her personal experience with Adena Health System, focusing on a critical incident involving her heart health. Barbara recounts how, after undergoing a stress test, she was urgently called back by her cardiologist, Dr. Hassan, who discovered a significant issue. Despite not feeling any symptoms, Barbara was informed that a main artery had collapsed by over 98%. Dr. Hassan performed a procedure to insert a stent, effectively saving her life.

Barbara praises Dr. Hassan for his thorough explanation of the procedure and the care she received, highlighting the smooth process and the exceptional care provided by the hospital staff.

Barbara appreciates Adena's Christian values, which she believes foster a caring and supportive community. She underscores the value of having access to quality care locally and mentions Adena's wide-reaching presence in the community, ensuring that specialized services are available when needed.
