TIM PIETRYGA

VICE PRESIDENT, ADVANCEMENT

Since Tim joined Mary Free Bed in 2012, he’s built a development department for the hospital, established the Mary Free Bed Foundation, initiated a planned giving program and launched a successful capital campaign for a campus-wide renovation and expansion.

His work with the Gerald R. Ford Foundation earned him a leadership role in the planning and execution of the funerals for President and Mrs. Ford. These relationships helped him secure the name for the Betty Bloomer Ford Cancer Rehabilitation Program at Mary Free Bed.

Tim, who spent 35 years with Consumers Energy, was appointed by Gov. Rick Snyder in 2012 to the Michigan Film Advisory Council and has served on many boards of directors, including Hospice of Michigan and Experience Grand Rapids. He holds a bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism from Southern Illinois University.
