Board of Directors

A small cadre of outstanding physicians, nurse educators, clergy and business leaders have developed a clear sense of call to commit themselves to the CHT mission and vision. This solid and credible core is growing rapidly both in their depth of commitment and breadth of expanding influence among other like-minded individuals.

Together, we are committed to providing compassionate, high-quality, affordable healthcare that reflects the love of Jesus.

Executive Director

Anne has been an Obstetrician/Gynecologist in Toledo since 1992. She has also been working with the poorest of Guatemala for the last 20 years with the organization SewHope. On a return flight from Guatemala in 2014, she started asking herself why she was not serving those most in need in her own community of Toledo as much as she was working for the poorest in a far-away country. This led her to start talking to amazing people in Toledo and Detroit who encouraged her to pursue a faith-based clinic that would address these needs. Through the grace of God, she was connected with an incredible group of people who joined her in starting Compassion Health Toledo. Anne and her husband Randy have four much-loved children who share their passion for righting the great inequalities of this world. ​
