Keith and Janet Elwick/Kvastad Farms

Keith and Janet Elwick from early in their lives have had an appreciation for rural healthcare and the ability of access in the community. They had been blessed over the years with grateful patient experiences. Dr. Koontz and Dr. Woodhouse are two of those doctors who made a difference.

Keith served on the VGH Board of Directors from 1971 to 1985 providing leadership and guidance. During his tenure on the board and George Garwood as Administrator VGH was strong, inspiring the community to understand the value of quality care close to home.

Keith and Janet Elwick/Kvastad farms donated land for the construction of a clinic in Urbana which was dedicated on June 20th, 2002. Urbana Family Medical Clinic has grown to two providers increasing the accessibility. VGH is grateful for the advocacy, testaments of inspiration and investments of Keith and Janet through their lifetime.

It is with gratitude and honor that we name Keith and Janet Elwick/Kvastad Farms to the first class of Legacy Honors.
