From time to time, The Foundation has chosen to recognize donors whose contributions benefit the larger community through a demonstration of a commitment to philanthropy. According to Merriam-Webster, philanthropy is goodwill to fellow members of the human race ­­– especially an active effort to promote human welfare. As an organization whose mission is to distribute funds to support humanitarian purposes, our 25th anniversary year recipient exemplifies all that philanthropy embodies.

Dr. Mark Hatfield, founder of Retina Consultants, PLLC was honored at The Foundation’s Silver Anniversary Gala and Benefit Auction on November 3, 2018. It was early in the year of planning that Dan Lauffer, CEO of Thomas Health shared with Sally Barton, Executive Director of The Foundation, that “Dr. Mark Hatfield is the reason excellent eye care is available to our underserved communities in southern West Virginia.”

Dr. Hatfield’s name was put forth from hospital leadership, his peer medical staff, and community members for his unique professional achievements that have brought distinction to his profession and organization.  Dr. Hatfield generously gives his time and talent to benefit others and he provides service to his alma matters and organizations that strengthened communities.
