ProMedica Defiance Regional Hospital is a public hospital in Defiance, Ohio that is part of the ProMedica Health System.
Their cafeteria is popular with local residents; between January and June 2004, the number of meals served on Sundays more than doubled.[1]
Indianapolis 500 champion Sam Hornish sponsored the creation of a heart facility there in 2006, the Sam Hornish Family Heart Center; by July 2007, it had already performed 700 procedures, saving residents trips to hospitals in Toledo or Fort Wayne.[2]
Also in 2006, Timothy Jakacki took over as president of the hospital, adding onto his duties as head of Fostoria Community Hospital, in a larger management shuffle by ProMedica; he succeeded John Horns, who was promoted to larger regional responsibilities.[3] Jacacki complained of the difficulties of recruiting doctors in rural northwestern Ohio in a later interview; though specialist recruiting remained an issue, he emphasized that some family physicians actually preferred coming to smaller communities like Defiance because it enabled them to broaden their area of practice.[4]
