2011 Gift of Health Report

President's Perspective

Laura Rehrmann
Laura Rehrmann, FAHP
President
Group Health Foundation

I believe we can make the world a better place. I truly do. It propels me out of bed every morning, and it keeps me up at night. How can we — as individuals and as a community — be forces for good? Not someday but today.

Luckily, making the world a better place is in my job description. Every day, I get to see the many faces of progress, the many facets of innovation, and the profound impact our 5,658
donors have on our community.

Snapping on a bike helmet, buckling a seatbelt, making a phone call. Daily tasks or life-changing gestures? From where I sit, these are shining examples of how innovation can be at once practical and profound. They epitomize what happens when donors, physicians, nurses, social workers, and researchers channel their energy and enthusiasm toward making the world a better place.

You. Me. Us. Together. We are a force for good creating a greater good. A common good. A better world. Thanks for all you do.
