About Jennifer Engen

I am a Paynesville native. I earned my degree in Secondary Education from the University of Minnesota, Morris. For the past 2 ½ years I have worked in philanthropy for Friendship Ventures (Camp Friendship) located near Annandale and oversaw all aspects of fundraising.

As Foundation Coordinator, I work with individuals, businesses, and organizations to cultivate charitable donations to ensure the ongoing advancement and availability of quality, local healthcare in all communities served.

This year marks the 10th Anniversary for the Paynesville Area Health Care Foundation. The Foundation Board of Directors has many goals and looks forward to the opportunities the foundation will bring to Paynesville Area Health Care System.

This year a main focus is raising funds to enhance our obstetrics care. We would like to update rooms and purchase a fetal monitoring system. These additions would create comfort and update our technology for those families bringing new lives into the world.

To create future ongoing support for top-quality local health care we need you to invest in our future. The Paynesville Area Health Care Foundation endowment provides annual funds by using earned interest from the endowment. The endowment can grow by receiving annual contributions and also by people remembering us in their estate plans.

Please feel free to contact me. My office is located in the Lake Avenue Professional building at 645 Lake Avenue, Paynesville. I may be reached at (320) 243-7938 or at [email protected].
