The Adirondack Health Foundation presented Jeannie Cross with the 2023 Dr. Edward L. Trudeau Award at the Diamonds and Denim Gala Saturday recently. Cross joined Adirondack Health’s Board of Trustees in 2011 and served for eight years, four of which as board chair. Cross was enjoying her retirement from her professional career and board duties when Adirondack Health leaders asked her to fill an unanticipated board chair vacancy. She stepped up, chairing the board and organization through the pandemic’s early months.
