About the Foundation

Message From Our Board President

My first visit to Sheridan Memorial Hospital was at 1 am on June 14, 1942. Possibly this is why my wife Elaine says I remain today an early-morning person. Since then, like many of you, I have visited the hospital for tonsillectomy, appendectomy, two knee replacements, and a major back surgery. Throughout my life I watched our hospital continue to grow along with our community and its healthcare needs. This doesn’t happen without forward-thinking leadership and dedicated contributors like you.
My gratitude extends to all of the doctors, nurses, administrators, and each SMH employee and volunteer. Each individual, along with community philanthropy, helps to financially support SMH and keep the hospital moving forward. I am proud to lead The Foundation board in support of the hospital’s vision & mission, focused on the same excellent patient-centered care I first received in 1942.
Gratefully,
Richard Story Garber, Sr.
