Yuska Retires from GRMC Board of Directors

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.
