Nancy Chesick's Story

The kind of care she gives
is the kind of care she gets.

For years, nurse Nancy Chesick provided expert care to oncology patients. She never expected she’d be the one in need.

But when Nancy’s digital mammogram at Bay Park Community Hospital was read by the breast specialists at The Toledo Hospital Breast Care Center, they decided that further care was needed. A dedicated breast MRI confirmed she had cancer, and a double mastectomy was followed by reconstructive surgery and hormone therapy. Fortunately, Nancy’s doctors, nurses, radiologists and others all worked in harmony to get test results quickly and schedule appointments immediately.

The History

In April 1998, ProMedica Health System and local architects began to work together to form the plan and design for what is now BPCH. The state-of-the-art community hospital was to include a physician office building, along with the standard areas many patients/visitors of a community hospital have come to expect. The primary design of the facility would be a complete health care facility embodying a customer-focused, family-focused, cost-competitive environment.

The vision for the community hospital was to be based on some guiding principles:

• Create something different, a community amenity
• Establish an aesthetically pleasing and calming campus
• Lower operating costs
• Produce an efficient operation to be a leader in the marketplace

BPCH was designed to be a unique blend of structure and setting. The concept was to bring the outdoors in, and help patients and visitors feel a sense of harmony with nature. The design embraces the trend toward natural and environmental influences in the health and healing continuum. The exterior was purposely designed to avoid resembling a hospital. The warm and inviting style reflected in our design complements our mission of providing family-focused patient care. Our approach to care focuses on the special needs of each patient while recognizing the support and concern of family members and friends.

Groundbreaking took place on May 5, 1999, followed by a grand opening of the hospital on October 28, 2001, with more than 8,000 area residents touring the $84 million facility. It was widely believed to be one of the most heavily attended hospital openings in recent history. 

Today, BPCH continues to meet the needs of patients and families east of the Maumee River through a diversity of services and programs. The success of the state-of-the-art hospital is certainly not attributable to one individual or even one department. It is a direct result of the community responding to a new choice for health care.
