Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation Welcomes New Executive Director
PEMBROKE - The Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation is pleased to announce the hiring of Executive Director Nancy Warren whose enthusiasm and experience will be valuable in helping meet the charity’s fundraising goals.
“We are thrilled to welcome Nancy to the Foundation,” said Marnie Stunt, Foundation Chair.
“With her familiarity of the area, her strong record of achievement and her deep sense of commitment to strengthening the Foundation, we look forward to her leadership as we move ahead with a number of fundraising initiatives.”
No stranger to the healthcare field, Mrs. Warren has worked previously as a registered nurse with the Victorian Order of Nurses (VON) and as a supervisor with the Red Cross.
She also spent 11 years in the business sector as a retail store owner in Pembroke and Renfrew, and has spearheaded many fundraising projects including the Annual Kim Armstrong Turkey Trot.
Mrs. Warren and her husband, George have three daughters and reside in Pembroke.
“When the Foundation opportunity presented itself I thought it would be a perfect fit with my skill set and experience,” Mrs. Warren said.
“The Foundation has been in existence for over eight years, and with the community’s support it has accomplished some tremendous feats: contributing to the Hospital expansion, the new birthing suites, the purchase of the CT scanner, and the creation of the satellite dialysis unit, just to name a few,” she said.
“I am eager to connect with existing donors as well as with friends and neighbours in the region so we can continue to build upon these successes.”
Mrs. Warren said it’s important to recognize fundraising never stops. “There will always be another fundraising project if we want to maintain high standards. This is ‘our’ Hospital and we must work together if we want to have the needed equipment and programs at our doorstep.”
