“My principal reason for serving on the Foundation Board arises from the need of our Medical Center for an established and significant base of community support and involvement, above and beyond the management and direction provided by the Board of Trustees and the CEO. We have many people in the community who possess the skills and the means to ensure the growth and stability of Angel Medical Center, and the goal of the Foundation is to provide direction for those resources.”
