OUR COMMUN I T Y I S BU I LT
upon collaboration.
Every day, we work with each other to create an
environment for the betterment of our neighbors, our
families, and our friends. With health care being one
of this area’s greatest needs, it is imperative now more
than ever that we work together.
With that in mind, I’d like to publicly acknowledge a
group of volunteers who give generously of their time,
talent, and treasure. The PeaceHealth St. John Medical
Center Foundation Board of Directors works tirelessly
to support our medical center, which in turn supports
our community.
Every year, this team of community leaders focuses
on the issues and needs of the medical center and then
collaborates with our community of donors to see the
projects through to completion. Whether it’s through
fundraising events and their respective committees or
through weekly thank-you calls to our donors, our Board
