As Bruyère Health Foundation advances its Living Well, Aging Boldly campaign and invests in care, research and innovation for older adults, a new Board of Directors will help guide the Foundation's next chapter.
Bringing together accomplished community leaders and dedicated volunteers, the Board plays a vital role in advancing the Foundation's fundraising mission. As ambassadors, advocates, and champions for philanthropy, members help inspire the generosity that fuels exceptional care, groundbreaking research, and innovative programs at Bruyère Health.
The Foundation is delighted to welcome Joanne Kudakiewicz as Chair of the Board. Joanne has served on the Foundation Board for the past five years, including two years as Vice-Chair, and brings a deep understanding of the Foundation's mission and strategic priorities to her new role.
"Bruyère has always been a place where compassion, dignity, and innovation come together to make a real difference in people's lives. It is a privilege to serve as Chair of the Bruyère Health Foundation Board and to support an organization that means so much to our community. I look forward to working alongside our Board members, Foundation team, donors, volunteers, and partners as we build on the remarkable momentum already underway and continue investing in the care, research, and programs that help people live their best lives." - Joanne Kudakiewciz
The Foundation also extends its heartfelt gratitude to Scott Brooker, who has completed his term as Chair following six years of dedicated service on the Board, including the past two years as Board Chair.
