Longtime health services director took care of thousands of Baker students

For the past quarter-century, Baker University's Nurse Ruth has been much more than a health care provider. She's been a grandmotherly figure to homesick students, an advocate for community health, and quite possibly the university's biggest sports fan. Ruth Sarna, Baker's director of student health services, plans to retire at the end of this current semester after 25 years at the Baldwin City college. She estimates that she's seen 15,000 students and facilitated 65,000 patient visits during her time at Baker. By Giles Bruce
