St. Joseph's Hospital Foundation names new board members

BUCKHANNON, W.VA. -- St. Joseph’s Foundation is proud to announce the addition of three new members to its Board of Directors.

The new members are: Lisa Cain, financial advisor with Edward Jones Investments; Tracy Ellis with Hank Ellis Insurance Agency; and Linda Xander, Owner of Candies by Linda. They join the current board members of Tim Critchfield, Jennifer Fluke, John Haskins, Steve Holmes, Don Nestor, Dr. Joseph Reed, Terry Reed, Mike Ross, Mike Shaver, Robbie Skinner, and Dusty Zickefoose.

“We are pleased to welcome these individuals to our Board of Directors,” John Haskins, Board president, said. “They are an excellent addition to our Board and will assist us in ensuring that St. Joseph’s Hospital continues to provide the best in healthcare to our community.”

St. Joseph’s Foundation was formed in 1994 with its primary goals being to actively secure charitable support, to develop relationships with community and business leaders, and to advocate and promote the hospital’s mission.

Most recently, the Foundation raised monies to purchase recliners with heat and massage for the hospital’s chemotherapy suite and to upgrade the patient security system in the hospital’s Nursing Care Facility. It is now working to purchase needed equipment for the hospital’s Cardiology Services and Cardiac Rehabilitation program through the “Every Heartbeat Matters” campaign.
