Community in Bloom: Nurturing Wellness, Inspiring Giving, Building Stronger Communities

On this heartwarming episode of Raise Nation Radio, host Dawn Lego sits down with Jonathan Maple, Executive Director of the Margaret Mary Health Foundation, to explore how a small-town hospital is making a big impact. From launching local health initiatives to preparing for the grand opening of a new hospital in 2026, Jonathan shares how his team’s passion for wellness, community, and compassion fuels transformational change. 

Listeners will be inspired by how the foundation turns fundraising into storytelling, where every gala, every volunteer, and every donation becomes part of a larger mission to nurture health and hope in Batesville, Indiana. Jonathan’s perspective on creating a culture of connection and FOMO-driven giving reminds us that when a community rallies for wellness, miracles happen every day.
