serving as its chair for 13 years,before joining
the board of Wayne Memorial Health
Foundation. Former Hospital Chief of Staff
Dr. Harry Propst credited Paul with “shaping
this Hospital, thereby shaping this county.”
Propst praised Paul for helping to breathe
new life into the west end of Honesdale with
the Hospital’s purchase of the Stourbridge

we do is aimed at benefiting the community.
Mall for its rehabilitation services. “Everything
we do is aimed at benefiting the community.
Paul Meagher has remained dedicated to
that purpose.”
Sandy Meagher has also generously given
of her time to public service. A school librarian
and teacher for the Wayne Highlands
School District, Sandy always found time to
volunteer with the Wayne County Public
Library, where she served two terms as Board
president, as well as the Hospital Auxiliary
and the Hospital’s Nursing Scholarship
Committee. Sandy also donated time to
the Victims Intervention Program (VIP),
which helps victims of domestic violence.
Paul and Sandy raised their four children in
our community. They have devoted their
lives to their family—and other families—
and continue to help make Wayne and Pike
Counties a spiritually, culturally and physically
healthier community in which to live.
They will be honored to have you join them
as charter members of the Paul M. and
Sandra Meagher Legacy Circle.

Wayne Memorial Health Foundation

ayne Memorial has deep roots in
the community. The first hospital
building opened in 1920 as a
memorial to local soldiers and sailors who
lost their lives in World War I. Community
members raised the funds needed to construct
the building and pay the staff. Community
members served on the board and helped
steer the organization.
In the years since, Wayne Memorial has
evolved right alongside tremendous advances
in medicine and significant growth in the
area's population. What started as a one building
hospital is now a Health System,
with 10 locations serving 1,200 square miles.
Our medical staff now encompasses close to
200 health professionals representing more
than 30 specialties. We have assisted-living
facilities, home health and physical therapy
services, a hospice program, increased
outpatient services, and upgraded technology-
so vital in medicine today. We have more
tools than ever before to treat disease and,
more importantly, prevent disease and help
people live longer and healthier lives.
Yet Wayne Memorial's commitment and
connection to the community remains the
same. We are here for each other.
The community connection gave birth to
the Wayne Memorial Health Foundation. It's
what the Foundation is all about. Established
in 1981, the Foundation's goal is to raise
funds to help ensure the community's health
needs are met for future generations.
