Grinnell
Regional Medical Center reports it received a gift of $50,000 toward its Moving at the Speed of Life comprehensive
campaign from the Kintzinger family in memory and in honor of their friend, Marion
A. Jones.
Jewel
Kintzinger Day, Doug Kintzinger, Stuart Kintzinger, Rachel Kintzinger Harpham,
and Wendy Kintzinger Lentz and their families, made the gift to GRMC as tribute
to Jones as a close family friend and as a community leader.

from Jewel?
In December, GRMC dedicated the first floor
south patient wing as the Marion A. Jones Patient Care Wing. As the first
female president of the hospital’s board of directors, Jones ably led the
organization through several difficult challenges during her term. Under her leadership, hospital administrators,
medical staff, and the community moved toward increasing the hospital’s
outpatient care services.
“I
followed in Marion’s footsteps as I also served as the chair of GRMC’s Board of
Directors,” says Debby Pohlson, co-chair of GRMC’s Moving at the Speed of Life campaign. “I know how challenging that
role is. But, as much as anything else, this gift is certainly a celebration of
a strong friendship between two extraordinary women, Marion and Jewel. The work
they did together is a wonderful legacy for the entire area.”
In
addition to her eight years of service to the Grinnell General Hospital board
of directors, Jones and Kintzinger Day were active members of the auxiliary and
fund-raisers for the hospital. They are well-known for their work over the
years organizing hospital charity balls and transforming the gift shop into a
successful venture.

from Addison? Austin?)
“This gift from Jewel and the entire
Kintzinger family is greatly appreciated,” says Todd Linden, GRMC president and
CEO. “This family has always been vital supporters, volunteers, and promoters
of the hospital and the entire region. We are very grateful for all they have
done.”
