Fort Wayne, Ind., February 20, 2017 – The Parkview Wabash Foundation recently welcomed two new leaders to its board – a new chairman, Steve Hentgen, and new vice chairman, Jordan Tandy.
“The new slate of officers continues the strong leadership tradition of past Hospital Foundation Boards,” said Beth Squires Stein, director, Parkview Wabash Foundation. “Steve and Jordan represent different parts of the community and have demonstrated service leadership in their commitment to Wabash as well as care of the community through thoughtful decision making and fearless approach to complicated decisions and tasks.
