Passionate About Giving Back To Their Community
Whittier Couple Shares Their Story
PIH Health Foundation donors,
Robert and Lisa Peck
“Through our volunteering, we always hope to lift others’ spirits as much as they lift ours. We know our donations and devotion over the years will inspire other families to choose to support PIH Health, too.”
Robert and Lisa Peck have a long and personal history of supporting PIH Health Whittier Hospital. From Lisa’s 18-year career as a mammographer at the Patricia L. Scheifly Breast Health Center, to the couple’s more recent focus on volunteering, their ongoing efforts are both impressive and inspiring.
“PIH Health Whittier Hospital is very dear to us,” said Lisa. “Our two children were born there, and it’s been our family hospital since 1975—our entire married life.”
Through the years, the Pecks’ support has taken a variety of forms. During Lisa’s career, she made monthly donations through the employee giving program to PIH Health Foundation. Due to their continuous annual support, Robert and Lisa have been Circle of Excellence members since its inception. Several years ago, Robert and Lisa made a deeper commitment to PIH Health by including PIH Health in their estate plan. They display their dedication to PIH Health by attending numerous PIH Health Foundation events each year.
Lisa shares, “We enjoy attending the Circle of Excellence gatherings, gala and annual Legacy Society Luncheon because it gives us the opportunity to meet other people who care deeply about PIH Health.”
“Lisa is the reason we got involved initially,” said Robert. “Now that we’re retired, we have more time and a renewed focus to continue volunteering. We love it!”
After a 44-year professional career, Robert began volunteering in August 2018 as a tram driver. Today, he volunteers in central distribution, delivering supplies across the hospital’s campus offering smiles and encouragement wherever he goes. Lisa began volunteering through PIH Health’s volunteer services department in September 2022 and is currently exploring various positions to determine where to best utilize her experience and skill set.
“Through our volunteering, we always hope to lift others’ spirits as much as they lift ours,” said Lisa. “We know our donations and devotion over the years will inspire other families to choose to support PIH Health, too.”
