Jan Bohlander has spent her life turning everyday moments into opportunities to connect people. Whether in classrooms, at Friends Fellowship Community, or in her daughter’s downtown Centerville shops, she’s known for getting involved and bringing people together. That spirit of service was shared by her late husband, Richard “Dick” Bohlander, and became a guiding principle for their family to support the community by giving back. Today, Bohlander continues that legacy through her involvement with the Reid Health Foundation’s Ginkgo Society, which honors individuals who support Reid Health through planned giving.
