Message from Virginia Garcia Memorial Foundation's ED,

Christine Rontal

December, 2011

Thank you to all of the community partners who support Virginia Garcia. It's a joy to collaborate with you in an effort to ensure access to high quality health care for our vulnerable neighbors.


With thoughtful planning, you have the power to leave a legacy through your estate, guaranteeing families access to Virginia Garcia's vital services for generations to come. Your planned gift makes an impact that costs you nothing during your lifetime, but that is priceless as part of the legacy that you leave behind.

I'd like to welcome some new faces to the Foundation family. We are really excited about our new Individual Partnership Officer, Dave Eshbaugh. Dave comes to us after spending eight years as a development consultant. Prior to this, Dave spent many years in executive director roles with organizations such as the local Audubon Society. We are thrilled to have him join our team. Welcome Dave!

It continues to be a great year for the Center and the Foundation, thanks to your support!  We are working on a capital campaign for the Cornelius Wellness Center and continuing to focus our fundraising efforts on programs like Padres con Initiativa, OB Dental, Behavioral Health, Clinical Pharmacy and more. To learn more about how you can partner to support these vital initiatives in our community, please contact me at crontal@vgmhc.org.

With gratitude,
Christine
