Foundation Director
Serving as Director of the Foundation since 2022, Jessica Geist brings strategic leadership and a deep passion for community impact to the role. Before joining the Foundation, she spent more than a decade leading business development within marketing agencies and the financial industry, where she developed extensive experience in strategic growth, relationship-building and communication.
Since taking the helm, she has focused on advancing the Foundation’s mission by raising awareness for vital funded projects, launching innovative programs and establishing sustainable funds. Through dedicated fundraising efforts, she continues to secure the resources needed to support the long-term success and excellence of the healthcare system.
Outside of her professional life, Jessica is married to local firefighter, Ljay Geist. Together, they are raising four very active children, which means most of her spare time is happily spent alongside her family at various sporting events.
Stepping into the Foundation role, almost four years ago, I didn’t realize how much my role would resonate with who I am as a person. I have the honor of supporting our departments and team members and the work they put in everyday to provide the best care possible for our patients.
