WILSON: continued... hospital facilities. However, 80 percent of procedures that were being performed on patients within our community can now be done at Wilson Memorial with the opening of the Cardiovascular Cath Lab. With an aging population and heart disease on the rise, the need to elevate Wilson Memorial to a higher level of service comes at an appropriate time. The highly trained team of physicians and staff is dedicated to providing top-quality care to patients in the community in a state-of-the-art facility.

Recent hospital enhancements and advancements in technology allow patients to stay close to home for their healthcare needs.

The Emerson Charitable Trust awarded Wilson Memorial Hospital $200,000 to enhance its healthcare services. The grant has been used to assist in the purchase of state-of-the-art medical equipment in the newly re-established Cardiovascular Catheterization Lab. The $200,000 grant by the Emerson Charitable Trust will be awarded to Wilson Memorial in five installments of $40,000.

In mid-August Buffalo Wild Wings reopened after completing an eight day, one half million dollar renovation to its Sidney restaurant. According to owner Tom Mayl, the well-known B-Dubs chain is undertaking a nationwide initiative known as Gen 4 to significantly enhance the atmosphere, electronics, and furnishings of their restaurants. The Sidney location was updated with 23 new television monitors, an expanded patio, new tables, chairs, and bar, additional seating for 100 guests, and a private meeting room. Walls and flooring throughout the restaurant received a face lift along with the installation of new fixtures in the restrooms. New eye catching signage has been installed at the front entrance with new street side signage to be added soon. Several staff additions accompanied the interior and exterior renovations.

Mayl credits Director of Operations Kelly Gressett, General Manager Barb Greer and the entire Sidney based team for making Buffalo Wild Wings a local favorite for great food, refreshing drinks, and a best in class customer experience.

Trupointe Constructs New Grain Bin in Sidney Trupointe Cooperative, Inc. is a regional memberowned and controlled co-op headquartered in Piqua, Ohio. Trupointe serves 50 locations throughout 29 counties in Northeast Indiana and West Central Ohio with more than 500 employees. The Trupointe board is comprised of ten farmer members who represent the counties they serve.

In 2008, the leadership of Southwest Landmark and Advanced Agri-Solutions Co-Op, two Western Ohio cooperatives, began talks to consolidate into one. On February 8, 2010 Southwest Landmark and Advanced Agri-Solutions Co-op members voted to become Trupointe Cooperative, Inc. The cooperative began official operations as Trupointe on September 1, 2010.

After acquiring the former ADM facility on Vandemark Road, Sidney, Trupointe broke ground March 5, 2012 for a new 730,000 bushel bin at the grain facility. This bin will significantly increase their storage capacity and allow them to better serve customers. The project represents a $2 million investment at the Sidney site and will create 5 new jobs.

“We are excited to see progress on this project

and are anxiously waiting for the chance to put the new asset into operation,” said Randy Broady, Director of Grain Operations.

The project is slated to be completed at the beginning of September, as long as weather conditions continue to be favorable. The Sidney location will be in operation for wheat harvest.

As a result the company is expanding their Sidney operation on State Route 47. In early October Continental Express will open a new 12,000 square foot facility that will enable them to offer warehousing as a value-added feature for their customers.

Russell Gottemoeller, CEO at Continental Express credits the growth of his company to their continuing SHELBYSizzles

focus on safety, service, and communication. This focus has not only fueled company growth, but also resulted in several prestigious customer recognitions to include Supplier of the Year for the Dannon Company and being named the Premier Transportation Partner for Tyson.

In addition to its Sidney location, Continental Express operates terminals in Gaffney, SC; Louisville, KY; and Danville,VA.

Wilson Memorial Hospital is continually looking to meet the healthcare needs of our communities.

Recent enhancements are bringing a more accessible Outpatient Lab, a more comforting Emergency Department and a state-of-the-art Cardiovascular Cath Lab to the hospital.
