Ada's latest news

Feature from www.ONU.edu/news/

A lesser-known fact: tucked away in the picturesque Eastern Ohio hills is an Ohio Northern University-owned locale that provides uncommon residential education opportunities. Totaling 78 acres with two facilities for extended living while learning, Metzger Nature Center is unlike any other college experience.

What is a swing bed?
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) grants approval to critical access hospitals to provide post-acute care in the hospital setting if the facility meets certain requirements. The swing bed concept allows a critical access facility to use its beds interchangeably for either acute care or post-acute care. The patient swings from receiving acute-care services and reimbursement to receiving skilled services and reimbursement while staying in the hospital setting.

If you lose touch with your college fraternity brothers after graduation, do you: a) do nothing; b) try to reconnect with them via social media or a phone call after life slows down, or c) surprise them by showing up at their house unannounced 35 years later?

If “c” sounds like the craziest choice, meet three late ’80s Sigma Phi Epsilon brothers from Ohio Northern University.

By all accounts, Dan Meek, BSME ’88, Brian Newberg, BA ’89, and Brian Keckler, BSEE ’89, are decent individuals and reputable professionals—a venture capitalist, an attorney, and a quality manager, respectively.

When the three get together? Surprisingly (or perhaps unsurprisingly), the ONU fraternity brothers transform into jokesters and co-conspirators, reminiscent of their college-aged selves.

During one such gathering of the minds, on a golf course during a global pandemic, the three concocted their most harebrained scheme to date: “The Lost Brothers Project.”

Noteworthy Community Choir has announced a December 10 performance at 3:00 p.m. of the concert Rise Up, and Follow!

The event will take place at Riley Creek Baptist Church, 4950 Orange Township Rd 27, Bluffton.

Enjoy a mix of sacred and secular Christmas music presented by members of the NCC and join  a sing-a-long of some familiar Christmas hymns.
