Forum changes dismay Tod family

YOUNGSTOWN — The Tod family, involved with Tod Children’s Hospital since its inception, says it is dismayed by the instability and apparent lack of planning that appears to be prevalent at Forum Health, especially as it applies to the pediatric hospital.

Sallie Tod Dutton, daughter of Fred and Nancy Tod, who played leadership roles in the facility’s history, explained the family’s position during an interview and in a letter to The Vindicator.

Dutton, of Liberty, said the Forum board had been a few years away from planning to build a stand-alone facility for Tod Children’s on the Northside Medical Center campus on Gypsy Lane.
