Building TheRelationships Cornerstone of One Man’s Heath Care Career Submitted By Shawna Malvini
fter graduating from Walla Walla College, Don and Sharon Ammon left Athe rural splendor of Washington state and headed east—east into the thriving metropolis of Chicago, such as it was in 1964. Laying the Foundation Starting his career at Hinsdale Hospital, Ammon used his business background to direct housing and recruitment, while Sharon began her teaching career at Hinsdale Junior Academy. Soon, the couple had two young children, Kathryn and Jonathan. During this time, he also earned an M.B.A. from Andrews University. Reflecting on his Hinsdale experience, Ammon recalled, laughing, “For two people who grew up in rural Eastern Washington, Chicago was quite an adjust- ment.” But the community hospital experience gave him a good platform to build upon, and in the summer of 1967, the Ammons returned to the Northwest. Becoming a Leader Moving west meant working at Portland Sanitarium, now called Adventist Medical Center (AMC). “I started as an assistant administrator. Then the next summer, the hospital administrator went to Europe for six weeks, leaving me in charge.” Soon, Walt Blehm, board chairman of the facility and president of the Oregon Conference at the time, recruited Mardian Blair—also from Hinsdale—to be the hospital president. “Mardian mentored me,” said Ammon. “And gave me many opportunities.” One was helping to establish a new campus. “I carried major responsibility for a project of huge proportions—a chance to build a new hospital—a very rare op- portunity for anyone,” said Ammon, then 30-something. With the support of Blair and Blehm, Ammon and the Portland team worked on the new hospital throughout the late sixties and mid-seventies. The complicated plan involved moving the original hillside sanitarium two miles to a location with better access and more facilities. “By relocating the campus along the I-205 corridor, we reached out to more people in our surrounding community,” Ammon said. And what began as a dream and major building project resulted in today’s award-winning facility in a prime Portland location. Creating Lasting Leadership Ammon moved up the ranks at AMC, serving in various capacities until being named CEO in 1977 and president/CEO in 1979. Throughout this tenure, he not only built new facilities; he built leadership. In addition to bolstering the medical Don Ammon, Adventist Health president/ staff and recruiting new specialties, Ammon created a long-lasting leadership team. CEO since 1979, retired in 2007. In fact, many of the professionals he recruited still work in Adventist Health today.

With the support of that team, Ammon moved to Roseville, California, in the summer of 1983 to lead yet another building project—constructing the Adventist Health corporate office. Prior to consolidation, Adventist hospitals on the West Coast were first managed by local conferences and then by the North Pacific and Pacific Union Conferences, which created the Northwest Medical Foundation and Pacific Union Adventist Health Services, respectively. The goal was to centralize the operations of their health care institutions. When those entities joined forces in 1980 to form what is now known as Adventist Health, a new location was needed for the headquarters. Ammon, then executive vice president, led the charge. “I worked very closely with the executive team, especially our president, Frank Dupper,” said Ammon. “Frank was a great person to work with for 18 years. He provided mentoring and support for my profes- sional growth.” “We eventually chose Roseville because it was cen- Don Ammon (seated on the far right) looks over building plans trally located to all of our hospitals and at the time, the with the AMC leadership team cost of living was inexpensive,” he added. in 1983.

Operation Global Rain was a 10-day prayer event modeled after the early church in Acts 2.

Some struggled to give up addictions, others made wrongs right. “I know the Holy Spirit spoke through me!” said one woman, telling of the surprise she experienced when she repeated a Bible verse that silenced a woman who was arguing with her. “It is great not only having the children here, but having them praying in the prayer circles!” said one adult. Lighthall said, “The experience was very connecting, and you looked forward to the next meeting.” About 25 to 35 members attended. Several significant answers to prayer came immediately following the 10-night prayer vigil. For example, attendance for Vacation Bible School was the highest ever, with 74 children attending. “I know it was because of the prayers that went up during Operation 10 Global Rain,” Darcy Jackson, the 110 director, said.
