What drove you to become a supporter of the Joe Andruzzi Foundation?

A large component of our family’s philanthropy has been focused on helping individuals survive the impact that health crises have on individuals and families financially. When we were introduced to the Foundation by a friend, we immediately knew that this was an organization that we had to get behind.

What is your favorite thing about being a JAF Board Member?

I am deeply interested in working with other people and organizations that are focused like I am on the changing landscape of healthcare and the impact it is having on our society. My fellow JAF board members share that focus.
