Please join us in welcoming Gianna Piccardo Ripa, our new Director of Philanthropy for the Lodi Memorial Hospital Foundation and Adventist Health Lodi Memorial!
Gianna will lead the Foundation’s fundraising efforts, donor engagement, community partnerships, and philanthropic initiatives, helping advance healthcare programs, technology, and services for patients throughout Lodi, San Joaquin County, and the surrounding region.
She brings a strong background in advancement and development, most recently serving in leadership roles with St. Mary’s High School and the Stockton Symphony, where she helped steward major gifts during the Symphony’s centennial year.
Gianna succeeds longtime Foundation leader Wayne Craig, whose years of dedication and service have made a lasting impact on healthcare in our community.
As we begin this next chapter, we look forward to building on the Foundation’s more than four decades of community support, strengthening relationships with our donors, board members, volunteers, and partners, and continuing to advance exceptional care close to home.
We’re excited to have Gianna leading the way. Please join us in giving her a warm welcome!
