Foundation Board & Trustees

The Foundation Board of Trustees consists of Washington Hospital staff and volunteers from the community. The board is led by an Executive Committee, which includes four elected officers, the Hospital CEO and leaders of the Hospital's board, service league, medical staff and employees' association. The Board of Trustees and Executive Committee assist in the many aspects of the Foundation's fundraising efforts, including helping to increase community awareness of both the Hospital and the Foundation.
