Meet Us

In 2003, Jay moved to a small community to see if he could make a difference, and bought a printing franchise which he sold 15 years later. While in Redding, he became very active in local charities including the Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club of Redding, and Make-A-Wish, and was asked to join the boards of Make-A-Wish of Northeastern and Central California and Northern Nevada and One Safe Place. This is where he gained knowledge and understanding of the non-profit world.

Jay is very happy to be on the board of the Wickenburg Community Hospital Foundation. He is also on the board of the Del E. Webb Center for the Performing Arts Center, and the board of the Rotary Club of Wickenburg where he is the current Treasurer and the President-Elect for the next year.

Soon after arriving in Wickenburg, Hunt began volunteering for many different organizations. He spent two three-year terms on the board of the Wickenburg Community Hospital Foundation serving three years as Chairman of the Board, one year on the board of the Wickenburg Citizens Patrol, three years on the board of the Wickenburg Elks Lodge more recently returning for another three-year term with the Wickenburg Community Hospital Foundation Board of Directors.

Hunt is also a twelve-year volunteer of the Amigos Trail Ride and Drive, as Chairman for five years.

Hunt is excited to be on the Wickenburg Community Hospital Foundation Board and looks forward to supporting our local community. His life these days involves work, volunteering, and motorcycling.

Christine recently retired from education. Her experience includes K-8 education, adjunct professor at Whittier College, five years on HGTV, five years with art education with Princess Cruises, and author of eight art books. She is excited to share her passion of making a difference with the Wickenburg Hospital Foundation.

Jodie enjoys spending every opportunity with her fabulous husband and their two K-9 kids. They love the dry environment in Arizona versus the humidity in the Midwest as we enjoy being outside in the pool, hiking with the dogs, or bicycling on trails when temperatures allow.

Jodie began her tenure at Wickenburg Community Hospital as the Emergency Department Director and recently transitioned into the Chief Nursing Officer role where she truly looks forward to supporting the Foundation and the Hospital. Prior to coming to WCH, Jodie worked in much larger hospitals but she also has experience in nursing homes and outpatient clinics. She has worked as a nurse caring for dialysis patients, trauma ICU patients, and as a transport nurse on critical care ambulances, helicopters, and airplanes. Jodie is passionate about advocating for patients and equal opportunities for quality healthcare in rural areas.

Jerry and Vicki got involved as soon as they moved to Wickenburg. Vicki volunteered on the boards of some small organizations. Jerry first became involved with the Desert Caballeros Western Museum as a gallery guide and docent, then served a short time on the Cowgirl Up committee. Jerry and Vicki had an interest in the Del E. Webb Center for the Performing Arts, and Jerry was invited onto the Board of Directors as a member of the Finance Committee. He soon became treasurer and then had the fortunate opportunity to be elected as incoming President beginning in 2023. Three months ago, Jerry was invited to join the Wickenburg Community Hospital Foundation Board and sits on the finance committee.
