Board of Directors

for SSM Health St. Clare Foundation - Baraboo

The SSM Health St. Clare Foundation - Baraboo helps to advance the health and wellness of all who live and visit the communities our facilities service. Through the generosity of its donors, the Foundation has purchased medical equipment for nearly every St. Clare Hospital facility and department in Baraboo, Lake Delton and Wisconsin Dells and sponsors many community health and wellness programs. The Foundation’s endowment has grown to over $2.9 million. Each year a portion of the endowment earnings are used for local initiatives in medical technology, health and wellness and Healthy Community Partnership Grants. Gifts to The Foundation are not used to fund operations at our facilities, nor do they leave our communities.

The elected 2021 Foundation officers are President Mary Dressen, Vice President Dr. Sharilyn Munneke, Secretary Merije Ajvazi and Treasurer Matt Schaefer. The Foundation’s Board of Directors also includes: Dave Abagan, John Alt, Tim Gantz, Brent Gasser, Dr. Jennifer Gavinski, Teresa Jacobson, Craig Philipp, Jennifer Sagissor, Dave Taylor, Laura Walczak, Ron Schaetzl, Julia Randles and Troy Walker.

Our Board brings a passion for health care, a commitment to serve the communities where they live and work and are dedicated to providing quality care close to home.
