Board of Directors

Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center Foundation

The board of directors is the governing body of the Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center Foundation and assumes full legal authority and responsibility for the management of the foundation, its fiscal and fundraising operations, and the investment of its assets. The board promotes the purpose of the organization and ensures that it has sufficient resources to fulfill its goals. It is responsible for policymaking, but delegates responsibility for the management of the organization and staff to the executive director.

CHMC Foundation Board members ultimately ensure that the foundation meets its mission to provide financial support to the medical center and its not-for-profit affiliates by engaging the community, increasing philanthropic revenue and ensuring conscientious stewardship of the funds and resources placed in our care.
