Friends had recom- Dr. John Baldwin played numerous roles at Community Hospital during his career as a surgeon on the Peninsula, caring for residents, serving as chief of surgery, promoting development of a nursing school and other advances, and providing philanthropic support. In 2010, he took on a new role: patient. After retiring to the Gold Country community of Twain Harte in 1990, Baldwin kept up his active lifestyle. Last year, it caught up with him. “I am 76 now,” he says, “but I can’t believe that, so I probably hurt my back over the last 20 years by pretending to remain 38 years old — skiing, running, shoveling snow, cutting, splitting, and stacking oak logs, and taking fishing groups to Alaska for 200-pound halibut. But, a disc in my lower spine decided to push into my sciatic nerve, causing a great deal of pain. I thought it would go away on its own.” It didn’t, and when Baldwin came to Community Hospital six months later, his right leg, immobilized by pain, barely carried mended he go to Stanford Medical Center, but he was confident Community Hospital would suit his needs. “I knew that coming home would be best,” he says. “My surgeon’s expertly performed neurological procedure immediately removed the incredible pain in my right leg, and I credit him for my complete recovery,” Baldwin says. “Lying there and suddenly becoming a patient for the first time in my life, I had no fear, because I knew that I had come to the right place.” During his stay, he passed around a 100-page guest book, collecting signatures and photos of staff and visitors who came to see him and his wife, Jeannie, a former Community Hospital operating room nurse. “My guest book has 154 entries and pictures of all the visitors,” he says. They range from Dr. Steven Packer, president/CEO, to staff members who were “kids” when he practiced at Community Hospital and have since moved up through the ranks. “I got well quickly because it was such a fun experience,” he says “thanks to the blending of technologic expertise and a caring, even loving staff.” The Baldwins returned to Twain Harte and continue their long-distance relationship with the hospital, as regular donors and as members of the Maurine Church Coburn Legacy Society, named for one of his former patients. The society recognizes those who generously make bequests to Community Hospital to help ensure its future.
