About Us

Honoring the Legacy of John W. Dinkel

We are proud to celebrate the legacy of John W. Dinkel, a dedicated Union Health Foundation Director for over 30 years whose vision and commitment helped shape health care in our community.

 

In  2024, the Dinkel family established the John and Rolanda Dinkel Family Endowment to honor John’s lifelong dedication to health care and community service. Proceeds from the fund will benefit Union Health, with a focus on Oncology services, reflecting John’s compassion for patients and families facing serious health challenges.

 

Beyond his board contributions, John actively engaged with the community, building partnerships that strengthened outreach and ensured access to quality care. Although he passed away in 2022, his leadership and compassionate spirit continue to inspire us. You can honor his remarkable life by supporting the John and Rolanda Dinkel Family Endowment, helping ensure future generations receive the care they need.
