The new Director of a Clinton non-profit has a few goals in a newly created role.

Many in the community likely know Curt Homann from his recent appointment as the Director of the DeWitt County Development Council. Around the same time as taking that role, Homann was named the Director of the Warner Hospital Foundation. On the WHOW Morning Show Monday, Homann told Regional Radio he is hoping to increase awareness.

Homann indicates objective number one will be to increase the number of donation dollars coming to the Foundation. He explains there's already a head start in that effort because the reputation of the Hospital is on the rise.

Why does a hospital that is doing as well financially as Warner Hospital need a fundraising arm for things that it may not be able to budget for? Homann indicates he gets that question often and calls it a legitimate question. He explains a thriving and healthy healthcare facility like Warner Hospital can mean a lot to a community.

While you may not realize it, Homann indicates there is a lot of overlap in his part-time role as Director of the DeWitt County Development Council and as the Director of the Warner Hospital Foundation.

Homann indicates the Foundation will be active on the fundraising trail under his watch and looks forward to hosting events the public can plan on enjoying and having fun at. Things kick off with a glow bingo night in Lincoln in June.
