Parma Mayor Appointed To Hospital Foundation Board Of Trustees

Parma Mayor Dean DePiero has been appointed to a three-year term on the Parma Hospital Health Care Foundation Board of Trustees. “My goal in public service has always been to try and make a positive difference,” said Mayor DePiero. “It is an honor for me to be given a similar opportunity with an outstanding group of people at one of the region’s top hospitals serving the needs of northeast Ohioans.” 

As stated on its website, the Parma Hospital Health Care Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that supports Parma Hospital’s mission to care for community health through philanthropy. The Hospital and the Foundation understand that caring for community health is a holistic process that neither begins nor ends with the Hospital. For this reason, the Foundation supports the philosophy of comprehensive health care within and beyond the hospital, fulfilling unmet needs and supporting innovations in health care, healing and wellness.

“It goes without saying how excited I am with the addition of Mayor DePiero to our Board,” said Foundation Executive Director Marcia Ferguson.  “New trustees bring with them new ideas and that is certainly true of Mayor DePiero and our other outstanding board members.”

The Hospital Foundation’s major funds include: Behavioral Center (Mental Health Care), Breast Cancer Care, Cancer Care, Charity Care, ElderCare, Heart Care, Home Health Care, Hospice Care, Nursing Education, Patient Care Units - Healing Environment, Rehabilitative Care and Spiritual Care.
