"They had a lot of Star of Life awards," Spaner said of the Ohio American College of Emergency Physicians and Ohio Department of EMS event last week. "A lot of amazing rescues. One fire chief saved children out of a pool and resuscitated one. They really had a lot of neat categories." What about the award Spaner received? "I don't like to talk about it," he said before bursting into laughter.

St. Francis of Assisi School kindergartners and first-graders visited the hospital for the second year in a row
Kaley Daley and Anthony Tibaldi were among the first graders who came to Hillcrest Hospital Tuesday morning concerned about their furry friends. "He hurt himself," Kaley said while holding up a bandaged teddy bear. "Where he broke something, we put a cast around it." The kids came ready to operate at Hillcrest's annual Teddy Bear Clinic. The hospital invited about 70 kindergartners and first graders from nearby St. Francis of Assisi School. The students were given hospital scrubs and a tour of the facility.
