For the 2003 Lifetime Achievement Award:
Our first/next Marshalltown champion can see efficient
solutions to problems and provide the leadership to bring it to a successful
conclusion.
Many of her achievements show assets of caring, equality,
and social justice.
 | As a new member of the Marshalltown Medical Auxiliary
in the mid-1970’s, she implemented the car seat rental program for new
mothers. |
| During more than 20 years of volunteer service to the
Meals on Wheels program, she has worked tirelessly to improve the delivery
of meals. She continues to work on the quality of food and efficiency of
transportation. |
| Beginning in 1995, she took on the job of developing
the Marshalltown Free Medical Clinic. Every Wednesday night for seven years,
local health care workers volunteered their services in the basement of
Trinity Lutheran Church. These volunteers included physicians, nurses,
medical technologists, pharmacists, social workers, clerical workers, and
interpreters. The Free Clinic, which provided free basic health care to the
uninsured and underinsured, operated entirely with donations of dollars and
supplies. In eight years, the clinic served over 4600 patients. |
| Currently, this Marshalltown Champion is developing the
MedAssist Prescription Drug program, which is a new service at the
Marshalltown Medical and Surgical Center. The MedAssist program works with
local physicians and drug manufacturers to help low-income individuals
receive prescription drugs at a reduced cost |
This Marshalltown Champion has been
| Past president of Marshall County Medical Alliance |
| Past president of Iowa Medical Alliance |

She has unselfishly promoted good health for everyone in
the community with leadership and integrity that drives each project to success.
