The Henry County Health Center Foundation Board of Directors has selected Savannah Collins as the new Director of the Henry County Health Center Foundation. The announcement comes from the board following the retirement of Mark Hempen in May after nearly a decade of service.
Collins graduated from Drake University with her bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Her professional background includes working in the Iowa Legislature for Speaker Pat Grassley, in the United States Senate for Senator Joni Ernst, and in the Burlington Community School District prior to her work at Great River Health. Most recently, Savannah served in the Donor Relations role for the Great River Health Foundation and brings an abundance of relevant experience to the job.
“I’m honored to lead the Foundation and continue to plant seeds to support the continuation of high-quality care for our patients, families, and associates. The legacies left in the care of the Foundation have the opportunity to make a major impact on the future of healthcare for generations to come,” said Collins.
“For those of you who have not had the chance to meet Savannah, I think you will be impressed by her energy and confidence,” said David File, HCHC Foundation and Henry County Health Center, Inc. board member. “With that, I invite us to warmly welcome Savannah Collins to her position as Director of the HCHC Foundation.”
