Over the weekend, I was saddened to learn of the passing of our Chair of the GBMC HealthCare Philanthropy Committee, Mr. Samuel Heffner. Sam was a successful commercial developer of properties throughout the region and he was known as a bold and determined leader, with a passion for philanthropy and the Baltimore community. His high standards along with his focus and commitment to charity led him to be named Chair of the GBMC HealthCare Philanthropy Committee.With Sam’s guidance, our GBMC Philanthropy team has had consecutive record-breaking years for fundraising. Sam moved the Committee to a sub-committee model and got many members in action generating gifts.
On a personal note, Sam was very helpful to me and taught me a lot about the role of the CEO in engaging the community in giving to GBMC. I will miss him.
GBMC HealthCare is thankful for Sam Heffner’s leadership, steadfast confidence and belief in our vision of providing the care we would want for our own loved ones. We will remain deeply indebted to him for his guidance and support.
