Established 1995

Gertrude Anderson was a lifelong resident of Hancock County. She graduated from the University of Michigan in 1922 and became the first medical technician at Blanchard Valley Hospital. She was an avid equestrian and liked to tell stories about her experiences including spending five months in a body cast during 1941. Gertrude was a member of First Presbyterian Church for 83 years.

Gertrude Anderson was an extraordinary person who recognized that TCF could provide services that were not available elsewhere in the community. The funds established by Ms. Anderson support local nonprofits like First Presbyterian Check of Findlay and Hope House. Her gifts now comprise this unrestricted fund to provide support for the community.
