Leaders Circle

Leaders Circle

Leaders share a spirit of caring, a passion for giving generously, and a desire to make a real difference in the lives of people in need in our community.

Each year, the Circle grows with those who understand that a leadership gift to MAHEC is an investment with measurable impact on key health issues. We invest in MAHEC for its strategic vision, strong health outcomes, and its ability to unite community and business leaders to create sustainable healthcare solutions.
