During a graduation ceremony that included the familiar “Graduation March” song, nine new Freeman Health System leaders were handed certificates after completing the 2024-2025 Freeman Aspiring Leaders Program Tuesday afternoon. The new leaders included: Esther Bard, Henrique Gebara, Laura Gullett, Matthew Hall, Austin Lepper, John Martin, Victoria Medina, Devon Tourtillott, and Carrie Vonschriltz. During the program, the nine aspiring leaders had to come up with a project and research and develop them right up to the point of implementation. On Tuesday, each candidate then presented details about their chosen project orally to their supervisors and leaders. At the end, they were given lunch and graduation certificates for a job well done. (fb)
