HUDSON – Hudson Hospital announces new Health Foundation Director of Development Kari Rambo. Rambo will fill the position being vacated by John Marnell.

As director of development, Rambo’s primary responsibility will be fund-raising. In that role, she will work closely with the Hudson Health Foundation Board, the fund-raising organization for the hospital.

“I’m overwhelmed with the support of the community for the hospital and all local organizations,” Rambo said. “We hope to focus on that passion to have better health care for our community.”

She said she plans to get involved in the community in the weeks and months ahead.
