WARREN
Patrick K. Wilson, a lawyer with Harrington, Hoppe & Mitchell in Warren, has been elected chairman of the Trumbull Memorial Health Foundation Board of Trustees.
Wilson, 51, of Warren, succeeded David Kostolansky as head of the 11-member board for a renewable one-year term effective July 1.
A board member of the Trumbull Memorial Health Foundation and its predecessor since 2004, Wilson said the board’s goal is to “expand our reach and share our assets beyond the hospital to Trumbull County as a whole.”
TMHF provides grants each year to initiatives that advance the health of Trumbull County residents.
To that end, Wilson said TMHF is researching the health care needs of the county.
The foundation, which has assets of more than $13 million, is the successor to the Trumbull Memorial Hospital Foundation, which was created by the hospital in 1976. Since 2012, the foundation has operated separately from the hospital as an affiliate of the Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley.
Wilson has practiced law in the Mahoning Valley for more than 25 years, and has served as Cortland city law director since 2001.
A 1981 graduate of John F. Kennedy High School in Warren, he has a law degree from the University of Toledo and a bachelor of arts degree in economics from Villanova University.
He is a member of the Ohio State Bar Association and the Trumbull County Bar Association, of which he was president from 2007-2009; the John F. Kennedy Catholic Schools board chairman in 2012-2013; and a member of the Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber.
Wilson is also a cancer survivor and a leading advocate of the Movember movement, an annual worldwide campaign in which men grow facial hair to raise awareness about prostate cancer and encourage getting tested for prostate cancer.
He and his wife, Elisabeth, have four children.
