The Board of Directors at Redlands Community Hospital appointed Jan M. Opdyke to President of the Redlands Community Hospital Foundation (RCHF). For the past eight years, Opdyke has served as the Senior Executive Director of Development at the University of California, Riverside (UCR). Most recently, Opdyke created and implemented an extensive fundraising program that increased engagement between the campus and external constituencies in support of UCR’s new School of Medicine, biomedical research and the university’s clinical enterprise. Opdyke has served for nearly two decades as a fundraising executive, elevating programs for educational and religious institutions across United States. “Jan is a proven innovative leader in development who will lead our fundraising efforts to a new level,” President and CEO for Redlands Community Hospital Jim Holmes said. “We have full confidence in her abilities to help Redlands Community Hospital with its developmental initiatives and outreach efforts which do so much to help so many in our community.” Prior to joining UCR, Opdyke served as the Director of Development for the Presbyterian Church, Louisville, KY, and the Director of Research and Scholarships for California State University, San Bernardino, and the Director of Development for San Francisco Theological Seminary, Claremont. She has also served as a lecturer at UCR and was a business owner in Redlands for 17 years. “I am proud to be part of Redlands Community Hospital where people have come first for more than 100 years,” Opdyke said. “Through the foundation's philanthropic outreach and the generosity of passionate donors, we will continue to garner resources to strengthen the hospital’s ability to meet the health care needs of the communities we serve.” A resident of Redlands for 30 years, Opdyke and her husband now reside in Cherry Valley. Opdyke earned her Bachelor of Arts in History from the University of California, Los Angeles, a Master of Arts in Public Administration from the University of California, Riverside, and a Master of Arts in Theology Studies from the San Francisco Theological Seminary.
