The Monongahela Valley Hospital Foundation Elects New Officers

The Monongahela Valley Hospital Foundation announced the election of new officers to its board. S.P. Hewie, M.D., is the chairman, and Linda Horrell, is the first vice chairman.

Dr. Hewie is a retired anesthesiologist who joined Monongahela Valley Hospital's medical staff in 1985. In 1996, she was elected to the Board of Directors of Mon-Vale Health Resources, Inc., the Hospital's parent organization; and, the following year she was elected to MVH's Board of Trustees. She continues to serve on both of those boards. A resident of Carroll Township, Dr. Hewie has been an ardent supporter of the Hospital's fundraising initiatives. For 19 years, she chaired MVH's Fund Development Committee before assuming the role of First Vice Chairman of the newly formed MVH Foundation in 2018.

Linda Horrell is co-owner of MarBill Diamonds and Jewelry, in Belle Vernon. For many years, Mrs. Horrell has advocated wellness through education by supporting community programming at MVH. In 2006, she began a partnership with the Hospital to help provide breast cancer education to the community. In 2012, Mrs. Horrell began serving as a member of the planning committee and a major sponsor of the annual MVH/Lois Orange Ducoeur Breast Cancer Walk.

"We are so very fortunate to have Dr. Hewie and Mrs. Horrell provide their visionary leadership that will help guide the Foundation as we explore ways to raise funds to deliver high-quality health care in the mid-Monongahela Valley," said Mark F. Spitzer, executive director of the MVH Foundation. "Both women are hands-on leaders whose expertise and experience are invaluable."
