The contribution, made in honor of the physicians on the hospital’s medical staff, reflects the organization’s gratitude for their tireless service and its ongoing mission to support community wellness.
On hand to present the symbolic check were Dr. Tracy Slager, Mat-Su Regional’s Chief of Staff; Esther Pitts, Chief Community Impact Officer for the Mat-Su Health Foundation; and James Bunch, Interim CEO of Mat-Su Regional Medical Center.
