About the Foundation

Message From Our Board President

I grew up in Sheridan County, having called Dayton home as an adolescent and Sheridan home since 2015. I’ve been a Foundation Board Member since 2018. Beginning with my very first meeting, I’ve continued to be blown away by the support our community shows our Hospital. From philanthropy to volunteerism, the people of Sheridan and the surrounding communities are unmatched in their willingness to support a high-quality, local healthcare system.

In October of 2018, my wife Emma and I welcomed our first child Michael into this world, courtesy of the amazing staff at SMH. Having heard stories from friends who had less-than-ideal experiences during childbirth in other areas of the country, we did not know what to expect. I can tell you that from the doctors and technicians to the nurses and supporting staff, we were treated with first-class service at every turn. When we welcomed our second child Samuel in May of 2020, our expectations were admittedly high, and SMH once again exceeded those expectations. We weren’t just Room 115 on a chart, we were the Johnson Family.

These are the reasons I’m involved and invested in the Sheridan Memorial Hospital Foundation. I want to ensure that my friends, family, and neighbors receive the best care in the region and have the same top-notch experiences that we have had, right here at home. This is all possible for one reason – you.

Gratefully,
Rob Johnson
