Merrell Joins St. John's Hospital Foundation

3-Sep-2015

St. John’s Hospital Foundation announces that Rachel Pettengill Merrell has been named Director of Stewardship and Special Events.

“Rachel brings an impressive set of skills and experience to this new role, and we are delighted to have her join the team," said John Goettler, Foundation President.

Merrell is responsible for working closely with donors, volunteers, and community members to increase donor engagement with the Foundation as well as the impact of community events. As the Foundation staff liaison to the St. John's Auxiliary, Merrell is working closely with the volunteers to organize and promote the Spring Fling and the Annual Charitable Golf Tournament.

Merrell is also coordinating with the organizers of third-party spring fundraisers: Phil Leeds of Skinny Skis on the Run ’n’ Ride, Alison Kyle on Shirley’s Heart Run, and Grand Targhee Resort on the Pattie Layser Mary's Nipple Challenge.

Merrell said, “I feel fortunate to work on these events with such dedicated volunteers. St. John's patients benefit tremendously from the fundraising support that's generated."

Prior to joining the St. John's Hospital Foundation, Merrell served as Associate Director of Development at the National Museum of Wildlife Art. Originally from the Boston area, Merrell holds a B.A. in psychology from Colgate University.

The mission of the St. John’s Hospital Foundation is to broaden the community’s understanding of and support for St. John’s Medical Center and to inspire philanthropy to improve the health of our community. For more information about the Foundation or to get involved with any of these events, please contact Rachel Merrell at 307.739.7517 or rmerrell@tetonhospital.org.
