President, Dublin Methodist Hospital

As surrounding communities
grow around Dublin, Ohio, OhioHealth is scheduled to open a
new hospital in October 2007. Cheryl Herbert, RN is shaping
the future in her leadership and innovative ideas in the
design and construction of this state of the art facility.
Herbert’s background in nursing gives her insight into the
needs of patients and staff with regard to designing this
new facility. She worked with multidisciplinary advisory
teams to provide input and guidance in the hospital’s
design. Herbert is working with the Pebble Project of the
Center for Health Design, a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
grantee. They have partnered to demonstrate how design can
improve the quality of care, enhance productivity and
operational efficiency and increase staff satisfaction and
retention.
