ELIZABETH AULTMAN HARTER SOCIETY
In 1891, Mrs. Elizabeth Aultman Harter donated 4.5 acres of land to build the first hospital in Canton. She and
her stepmother, Katherine Barron Aultman, had the wish of creating a lasting memorial for Cornelius Aultman,
Elizabeth’s father and Katherine’s husband. On Jan. 17, 1892, Aultman Hospital opened its doors to the community.
That same year, the Aultman School of Nursing was established, and was further expanded by Elizabeth
Harter soon after.
Because of this powerful act of philanthropy that helped transform a community, we have established The
Elizabeth Aultman Harter Society. Like Mrs. Harter, who freely gave time, talent and treasure through the years,
it is only fitting that we recognize our most generous donors in her name. These contributors have cumulative
giving of $20,000 or more since 2009 to advance our mission and ensure the future of Aultman Health Foundation.
We recognize with special appreciation and gratitude the following Elizabeth Aultman Harter Society members:

DONOR SPOTLIGHT
and nursing, respectively. “I wanted to live in the
mountains, and Candy wanted to live on the sea
shore,” Bill recalled. “Once we had our first child, we
determined it was best to stay close to my family in
Cleveland and Candy’s family in Medina.”
Bill accepted a radiology position at Aultman Hospital,
and Candy quickly became introduced to the Women’s
Board. “When Bill got hired at Aultman, one of the
doctor’s wives in the radiology practice suggested
I join the Women’s Board,” Candy said. “I thought
it would be a good way to meet people and make
new friends.”
Candy has been an active Women’s Board member
ever since. She chaired the 1990 Angel Auction
committee, served as Women’s Board vice president
from 1999-2001 and board president from 2001-
2003. She was instrumental in conceptualizing the
Aultman Compassionate Care Center, Stark County’s
first inpatient hospice center, and bringing it to fruition.
William (Bill) and Candy Wallace are fixtures in
the Canton community, involved in everything
from United Way to the Pro Football Hall of Fame
Enshrinement Festival to various Aultman Health
Foundation boards and committees. They have
donated countless hours of time and considerable
dollars, but they seek no recognition for their
contributions. They just want to make a difference.
Bill and Candy met at Kenyon College, married after
graduation and then went to graduate school at
Case Western Reserve University to study medicine
A LEGACY
DR. WILLIAM AND CANDY WALLACE:
OF CARING
2015 ANNUAL REPORT16
“My dad had four heart attacks and a terrible end-of-
life experience. My mom planned what she wanted for
her end-of-life care, and her time in a hospice facility
wasn’t what I thought it would be,” Candy shared.
“Mom loved nature, and she spent the last five days
of her life looking at a paved parking lot outside her
hospice window.”
That experience got Candy thinking about
bringing end-of-life care in a homelike setting to
Stark County. “We spent eight years researching
and benchmarking. Once plans for the facility were
announced, we were overwhelmed by the community
support,” she said. “With the Compassionate Care
Center, Aultman could truly offer ‘wrap-around care.’
You can give birth, get midlife treatment and end-
of-life care – all at one hospital.”
Among their many contributions, Bill and Candy
funded a playground on the Compassionate Care
Center campus. “We have siblings in education,
and they talked about a child’s need to play even in
situations like going to visit a dying relative,” Candy
explained. “We wanted to create a place where kids
could play and be safe.”
While Candy concentrated on Women’s Board projects,
Bill has served on the boards for Aultman College of
Nursing and Health Sciences, Aultman Health
Foundation and Aultman Hospital. “You learn pretty
quickly that you like to serve and want to continue –
or you just can’t afford the time,” Bill said. “I wanted
to make sure I fulfilled my commitments as a board
member while maintaining my focus on patient care.”
Bill served on the original Aultman College board
that launched in 2004. “I served as medical director
for the radiography certificate program at Aultman
Hospital before it became a degree-granting program
of Aultman College,” he shared. “That’s why the college
asked me to be on the board initially. I found it
interesting and served on the board for 12 years.”
The Wallaces credit their community-minded parents
with teaching them about volunteerism. “I grew
up watching my parents serve the community,” Bill
recalled. “They didn’t force me to do anything – but
suggested things I should do or would like to do.
Candy and I were a little more definitive on how we
wanted our kids to contribute to the community.”
Today, Bill and Candy have four children and seven
grandchildren (with one on the way). They have set
an amazing example for their family on the value of
making a difference. “I worked for 10-12 years and
then was able to dedicate my time to volunteering,”
Candy offered. “The time I give to community
organizations feels useful. I don’t earn money for
the hours I devote to volunteerism, but I get
paid emotionally.”
