Sunday, February 26th, 2017 -- 8:54 AM
A vision for the future, a love of her home community, and a huge heart inspired the late Patricia (Schreiner) Naegele to gift $525,000 from her estate to heart research at Marshfield Clinic.Naegele, who passed away July 25, 2015, was a dedicated supporter of research along with her husband, the late Robert Naegele, since 1987. The Robert and Patricia Schreiner Naegele Endowment for Heart Research will fund continued research in heart health by Marshfield Clinic clinicians and scientists. Fritz Wenzel, interim executive director, Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation knew the Naegeles well and visited with them often.
In addition to her philanthropic commitment, Naegele played a key role for many years at Marshfield Clinic as a member of the Clinic’s National Advisory Council from 1991-2013. The National Advisory Council served as consultants to Marshfield Clinic to enhance the Clinic’s ability to provide high quality health care and to continue its leadership role in medical research and education, before the Marshfield Clinic Health System Board of Directors was created.
