Roger joined the Board of Trustees of Montgomery County Memorial Hospital in
January 1999. Roger had this to say:

“What I have enjoyed most about serving on the Board has been working with all
the people and helping to make sure the hospital continues to serve the
community well and meet the health care needs of the people in SW Iowa.

Over the years, I have enjoyed working with all the Board members and all the
employees of the hospital. There have been many changes in health care over the
years. Our hospital employees and the Board have worked hard to keep up with
all the changes in health care. We have, as a board, strived to provide a hospital,
which provides quality health care for the residents of SW Iowa.”
