\"Chris<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Born and raised in Ann Arbor, Deb and Chris VandenBroek have come full circle. After leaving home following college, marrying in 1971, and spending time out of state, they eventually returned to Ann Arbor to raise their family. Their lifelong ties to the community have shaped a deep and enduring commitment to giving back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Looking back, they feel grateful for the opportunities that shaped their journey, and that gratitude lies at the heart of their philanthropy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both were raised in families of modest means, each with one immigrant parent, and grounded in strong Midwestern values. They grew up watching their families contribute what they could, whenever they could. Today, Deb and Chris remain a bit astonished by the life they\u2019ve built. They view their success as a blend of hard work and good fortune, an unexpected gift that carries with it a moral responsibility to help others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked about his purpose in life, Chris answers without hesitation: \u201cTo help other people.\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Su conexi\u00f3n con Packard Health comenz\u00f3 a trav\u00e9s del trabajo profesional de Deb en salud comunitaria con Ed Pierce y Jerry Walden, y se fortaleci\u00f3 cuando Chris se convirti\u00f3 en paciente. Con el tiempo, su participaci\u00f3n se ha vuelto tanto personal como de principios. Cuando piensan en Packard, piensan en accesibilidad, equidad y servicio aut\u00e9ntico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To them, Packard represents high-quality, relationship-based care that is available to everyone, not only those with financial means. As patients, they value never feeling rushed, having a real person answer the phone, and experiencing a pharmacy and patient portal that are responsive and easy to use. They have witnessed firsthand the compassion and respect that define the organization\u2019s care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Deb often says, \u201cEverybody deserves a Packard.\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

They are equally inspired by Packard\u2019s collaborative spirit and leadership. Partnerships with organizations such as Food Gatherers, Avalon Housing, the Delonis Center, and Dawn Farm demonstrate a commitment to wraparound services that address the full realities of patients\u2019 lives. They admire Executive Director Ray Rion\u2019s humility and tireless dedication to building partnerships, expanding services, and strengthening financial sustainability, all in service of patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chris believes education and healthcare are the foundations of a healthy, thriving society. \u201cThere\u2019s no better place to donate,\u201d he says. Deb agrees, noting that while large healthcare systems often have significant resources, community-based care depends on local investment and trust. When asked what advice they have for Packard, they stressed the importance of maintaining Packard\u2019s mission, and a strong board and management structure which keeps the organization financially viable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Deb and Chris, supporting Packard is about more than sustaining a medical practice. It is about strengthening an organization that upholds the fabric of a just and civil society. They believe healthcare is a right, not a privilege, and their generosity reflects that conviction. Packard is fortunate to have people like Deb and Chris, thoughtful, principled, and deeply committed, championing and sustaining this vital work in the community they proudly call home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
