Winchester Hospital News

Mohammed Jaleel, MD, and his practice, Winchester Hospital Inpatient Physicians, have made a $50,000 gift to start a fund named after Marlene Williamson, RN, MSN. Marlene, Winchester’s beloved assistant chief nursing officer, is retiring in July after 40 years.

“My father-in-law revered nurses,” explained Deb McDonough. “Two of his sisters, a daughter and a niece all chose that time-honored profession. He also appreciated the talented and dedicated nurses he worked with at Winchester Hospital. His quiet philanthropic leadership for nursing education made huge ripples of impact in our community.”

This Winchester couple says it’s never too early to begin estate planning. Providing for Winchester Hospital “is like investing in our own community,” says Jack Roll. “We want the hospital to thrive and be here when we need it.”

With more than 150 members, the women of The Winton Club form a strong and vibrant community, clocking more than 5,000 hours of fundraising and in-hospital service each year.
