<\/a><\/p>\nJoining Leadership Council<\/h2>\n
When MOM hired Catherine Amiot as the first full-time executive director in 2004, Rachel was the first person she approached about joining the new Leadership Council. Amiot\u2019s vision was to assemble a group of professionals who would help guide MOM through future expansions and support strategic initiatives.<\/p>\n
Eventually, Rachel was hired by MOM in 2009 as director of strategic initiatives and under her guidance and Amiot\u2019s leadership, MOM expanded into the East and West Valley, hired its first volunteer coordinator, adopted the Benevon model for fundraising and launched Community Connections.<\/p>\n
\u201cCommunity Connections allowed us to establish new partnerships around different initiatives like providing mammograms to our female patients or piloting health education programs for those with diabetes,\u201d Rachel said. \u201cIt was an exciting time for MOM and we were really pushing the envelope and fostering meaningful relationships in the community.\u201d<\/p>\n
Leading AZ Health Partnership Fund Board<\/h2>\n
After six years in that role, her career took a new path when she was asked to lead the Franciscan Renewal Center\u2019s capital campaign and endowment. But her passion for MOM remained, and shortly after MOM launched the Arizona Health Partnership Fund Board in 2017 to support Arizona charitable tax credit donations, Rachel agreed to join that board without hesitancy.<\/p>\n
Moving into MOM\u2019s next 25 years, Rachel looks forward to focusing on planned giving initiatives and a future endowment campaign. She believes in MOM\u2019s mission to \u201cheal through Love\u201d by restoring dignity, empowering patients and strengthening communities.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe MOM\u2019s clinics are there by the grace of God. It\u2019s comforting to know that there is an organization that acts as a safety net to anyone in our community who lacks access to health care for whatever reason,\u201d Rachel said. \u201cMOM eliminates barriers to care and goes directly to the people, serving them in the communities where they live and work.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
