SHF Board Treasurer Doug Swearingen shares with us what draws him to our mission: "I was familiar with the Sisters of St. Joseph and the Foundation before being asked to be on the Board. My father was a dentist and was involved with St. Joseph’s Hospital from the time I was born. I worked at St. Joseph’s in the dietary department while attending college. When the hospital was sold, I was pleased to see that the proceeds from the sale would be used to help the community. The fact that we are still helping today is a huge draw for me. Since I began serving I have enjoyed being a part of the Sisters Health Foundation. Playing a small part in helping our community to live healthier and providing support to those organizations that are furthering our mission makes me proud to serve on this board."
Doug, it's so good to have you on the board. How wonderful to hear of your long relationship with the Sisters of St.Joseph. You have known our mission and charism for many years and understand the good the SHF is doing for the community. Thanks!
thanks so much for your service!
Doug's the best!
