Improving the Health of Our Communities
The Marlette Regional Hospital (MRH) Foundation provides a working link between the hospital and the communities we serve. The goal of the MRH Foundation is to build support, involvement, and lasting relationships with employees, medical staff, volunteers, donors, and those we service.
The MRH Foundation Development Council is led by chairman Terry Haske of Marlette. Terry has served in this leadership role since 2008. As chairman, Terry helps to identify community needs and desires and communicates them to the organization. He also works in coordination with a group of community volunteer leaders that serve on one of three Foundation committees, each managing programs that increase community involvement, community service, communication and education, and philanthropic involvement for the hospital.
Some of these notable programs carried out by the Development Council includes the Friends of MRH giving club, the annual Driving for Health Golf Scramble, and the Tree of Shining Love event.
