Board Committee Chair
Richmond, VA

I give and serve on the board because I am overwhelmed by all that our associates do to make medical care accessible and as comfortable as possible for our communities, especially for those who struggle financially. I am humbled by the generous support of so many donors. I am a “loud and proud” Bon Secours Mercy Health cheerleader. 

What inspires me to serve Bon Secours Mercy Health is the opportunity it provides to share in the healing ministry of Jesus, especially to those who are poor and underserved.
