At Bryn Mawr Hospital there are many individuals and groups silently working to support the hospital’s mission to meet the healthcare needs of the community, and one of those little-known groups is the Women’s Board, writes Tara Behan Marmur for Maine Line Tonight.

The Bryn Mawr Hospital Women’s Board has been a strong hospital partner for over a century and this year they raised just over $308,000 for the Bryn Mawr Hospital Foundation.

More than $100,000 of that was used to improve the Interventional Procedure Suites while the rest was allocated to be used for maternity and baby equipment, NICU bed and beside equipment, the Comprehensive Breast Cancer Center, and other needs of the hospital foundation.

The 29-member board has also helped modernize the hospital’s cath labs and add beds to the inpatient psychiatric unit.

“Whatever our needs are, the Women’s Board always steps up for us in big ways,” Cinda Johnson, executive director of the Bryn Mawr Hospital Foundation said.

The Women’s Board president Jennifer McAleese worked in finance before joining the nonprofit sector. She has also worked with Project HOME, Ken’s Krew, and First Tee.

McAleese will be spearheading the Women’s Board’s upcoming “Fashion Emergency” fashion show at Boyds in Wayne on October 26.
