Message From Our Board President
Every October I would gather some friends and register for the Link – Partners in Pink. I always hoped for good weather but enjoyed the camaraderie and exercise regardless of wind, rain or sunshine. I also recognized the importance of contributing to Sheridan Memorial Hospital and specifically to the Welch Cancer Center. Little did I realize the organization and planning carried out by the Sheridan Memorial Hospital Foundation to make this event a success.
Now, I recognize and appreciate the innumerable ways the community and Sheridan Memorial Hospital are supported by the work of The Foundation. How did this happen? An unexpected encounter 3 years ago with Cody Sinclair, Chief Development Officer, led to an invitation to consider becoming a member of the Board of Directors to The Foundation. Once I considered this unanticipated invitation, I enthusiastically agreed to learn more about the role of a board member and the work essential to further the hospital’s mission – to serve our community with excellent patient-centered care.
It’s been three years since that chance encounter and I continue to enthusiastically participate in monthly board meetings, attend events sponsored by The Foundation, carry out committee work and serve as a representative for my community. Since its inception 50 years ago, The Foundation board and staff consistently strive to identify areas to support across the hospital. The Foundation is there to ensure the most up-to-date equipment, technology and medical training possible is available to our community. Patients can count on Sheridan Memorial Hospital to provide necessary and quality healthcare, today and in the future.
Sincerely,
Yvonne Gatley
