When Hannah Biely began acting erratic and out of character, those closest to the teenager knew something was seriously wrong.

Prior to the summer of 2016, Hannah was anything but average; she was an exceptional varsity water polo athlete, accomplished student, loving daughter, and friend to all. It wasn’t in her nature to act irrational and frantic; she was a healthy, level-headed, and intelligent, young woman.

Noticing an unexplainable and sudden change in her behavior, her parents and extended family took action to discover the root of the unusual behavior. Hannah was quickly admitted to Marian Regional Medical Center’s Pediatric Department where she was embraced by the clinical care team.

At the blessing and dedication of the Dante E. Tognazzi Jr. Outpatient Services Colonnade on November 15, 2017, Marian Regional Medical Center was honored to recall the many blessings Marian has received.  The Outpatient Services Colonnade will serve as an inviting doorway into the healing work at Marian. Thanks to the generous planned gift of the late Dante E. Tognazzi, Jr., Marian has honored his life through this welcoming feature on the campus that also features a breathtaking sculpture of the Madonna and Child.
