When asked what brought her to Matthew 25, she shared, “I had heard a lot about Matthew 25 over the years and thought, ‘what a neat idea, to offer health care to everyone – for those who cannot afford it.’ I hope one day everyone will have access to healthcare whether or not you are employed.” Michelle Creager, Matthew 25 CEO, commented, “We are excited to welcome Dr. Stinson as the head of our Medical Center. She has a heart for our patient population and really knows Fort Wayne.”
