Dear Ione,
On behalf of PeaceHealth Foundations, I want to thank you and Erik for your many years of generosity and for the leadership you bring to PeaceHealth as a System Board member.
Your dedication — through both your time and your philanthropic gifts — has made a meaningful difference for patients and families in Whatcom County. It is especially inspiring when System Board members choose to support the communities where they live and serve, and your commitment to PeaceHealth St. Joseph is a beautiful reflection of that connection.
Your support is meaningful not only because of the care it helps make possible, but because of the example it sets. Over the past several years, this Board has modeled something truly extraordinary: 100% participation in philanthropic giving. That level of engagement reflects a shared belief in PeaceHealth’s Mission and sends an important message to our caregivers, physicians, donors and community partners. It shows that our Board is not only governing the future of PeaceHealth, but personally helping to shape it.
As healthcare continues to grow more complex, philanthropy is becoming even more essential. It helps advance strategic priorities, strengthen trusted relationships and move resources into the areas where they can have meaningful impact for patients, families, caregivers and communities.
Every gift is personal, and your giving reflects a deep commitment to compassionate, high-quality care close to home. Thank you for your generosity, your service and your continued belief in PeaceHealth’s Mission and the future of healthcare in our communities.
If you have any questions about your giving or would like to talk more about PeaceHealth’s philanthropic priorities, I would be honored to connect.
With gratitude and appreciation,
Anne Rasmussen, MBA, CFRE, FCEP
System Vice President, Chief Philanthropy Officer
