Dan Gahler is featured in the Madelia Health Foundation (MHF) Board Spotlight today! Dan recently retired from Eide Bailly, where he was a tax partner.
🔹 Why did you feel compelled to serve on the MHF Board?
I am not really sure - Our common goal is making sure the Hospital is successful and thrives. However, with Mayo all around us, I enjoy being on the bandwagon of the underdog. We are big enough that we have great services available, but yet small enough that patients and employees are not just a number. I feel this is really important.
🔹 Why is supporting the growth of Madelia Health important to our community?
Having a thriving and successful hospital makes living in Madelia a better place. The hospital employs many people from the community which helps other local businesses. Plus, just having a hospital in your community is a great convenience when medical attention is needed, and can literally be a life saver.
🔹 What is your favorite thing about Madelia?
My most favorite thing about Madelia is that you get to know everyone in town. This creates the feeling of ownership by the citizens which inherently makes the entire community stronger, active and more vibrant.
Thanks, Dan Gahler, for your contributions to the MHF Board!
