Yuska Retires from GRMC Board of Directors
Joanne Yuska, of Toledo, has decided
to step off of the Grinnell Regional Medical Center’s board of directors for
health reasons.
Since 2004, Yuska has joined 12
other area community members on this volunteer board that provides oversight
and direction to the nonprofit, private medical center.
“Joanne’s personal commitment to
GRMC and to the board has been incredible and her impact will be felt for a
long time. At the same time, her love for the Tama-Toledo area and willingness
to represent the residents there have provided an important bridge for GRMC to
that community,” says Bill Menner, current chair of the GRMC board.
During her nine-year tenure on the
board, Yuska served on the board’s finance committee.
When she joined the board, Yuska
said: “I want to give my time to a most wonderful hospital. I am dedicated to
the hospital and have so much faith in it. I’m honored to serve on the board
and I hope to help in any way possible to maintain the high level of quality at
GRMC.”
The full board is responsible for
overall governance of GRMC. Its primary roles include maintaining the mission
and vision; strategic planning; appointing members of the medical and allied
health staff; approving the annual budget and providing financial oversight;
monitoring overall quality of services; and appointing the chief executive.
“Joanne
has been a tireless champion and advocate for the patient her entire time on
the board. Since her husband, Melvin, spent a great deal of time at GRMC as a
patient, both prior to her board service and after she started, Joanne has been
uniquely qualified to bring that patient and family perspective,” says Todd C.
Linden, GRMC president and CEO.
