Dear John:
On behalf of the Gwinnett Medical Center Foundation, I would like to thank you for your service and generous contributions as a member of the GMC Foundation Board of Directors. Your three-year term will be fulfilled on December 31, 2013. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your time and commitment to our mission.
Your leadership over the past three years has helped shape the future of healthcare at Gwinnett Medical Center. You should take great pride in knowing that you played a role in bringing Open Heart services to our community. Thousands of people’s lives will be materially and positively impacted by your kindness and philanthropic efforts.
I hope you will continue to be a roaring advocate for the Gwinnett Medical Center as we continue on our path to transforming healthcare!
Sincerely,
There are so many men and women who hold no distinctive
positions but whose contribution towards the development of society has been enormous.
