Jones Regional Medical Center
“When you have the need to use the hospital, it becomes a higher priority and you realize how important it is.” CAMMIE GREIF
Paying It Forward Bill and Cammie Greif were asked why they give back to the community. They said, “First of all, we have been incredibly blessed. Our parents helped us when we first started out and we received a few breaks along the way. We worked hard and kept on going. We feel now that we have an opportunity to pay it forward.” When choosing what to give back to Cammie reflected on their life experiences. Bill’s former FFA Instructor at North Linn High School and current Jones County Extension Director, Joe Yedlik was a very positive influence and helped shape him into the person he is today. Bill and I were strongly impacted by our youth 4-H programs and know that our grandchildren will be as well. For those reasons we felt compelled to contribute to the Youth Development Center. When talking about the hospital, she says that our family has used the facility many times and we now realize what an asset it is to have it in our community. “When you have the need to use the hospital, it becomes a higher priority and you realize how important it is. When serious things happen, you think, wow, it is really nice to have this facility and we understand how much it benefits our entire community.” Continued on page 3
