Jerry’s deep ties to the community also led him to serve on various boards, including Kiowa County Growers Inc., the financial committee of St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church, and as a founding and current Vice President of the Kiowa County Economic Development Foundation. His commitment to rural healthcare was deeply influenced by personal experiences, motivating him to serve on the Weisbrod Health Board as a way to give back to the system that provided him with critical care during times of need.
