Angie Hatfield Marker named Vice President of Carle Health Center for Philanthropy

Carle Health has named Angie Hatfield Marker Vice President of the Carle Health Center for Philanthropy, advancing the health system’s commitment to growing philanthropic support for care, innovation and community health across all the regions Carle Health serves.

Hatfield Marker, currently executive director of development and campaigns at Carle Health, will begin her new role Oct. 18. She was selected following an extensive search and succeeds Beth Katsinas, who will retire Oct. 30 after nearly a decade leading the Carle Health Center for Philanthropy. Katsinas has played a pivotal role in the growth of the Carle Health Center for Philanthropy. Read more here.

The transition comes at an important time for philanthropy across Carle Health. As the health system has grown, so has the opportunity to connect donors and communities with priorities that make a meaningful difference for patients and families throughout the system. That work includes The Campaign for Carle Health, a five-year, $60 million fundraising effort supporting priorities across Carle Health.

“At its heart, philanthropy is about people coming together to improve the lives of others,” said James C. Leonard, MD, President and CEO of Carle Health. “Beth has helped shape a culture of generosity that has strengthened care across Carle Health and created opportunities for countless patients and families. We are grateful for her leadership and the foundation she has built. Angie brings a collaborative approach, a deep understanding of our organization and a proven ability to bring people together around opportunities to make a difference. I am confident she will continue to strengthen philanthropy across Carle Health and lead this work into its next chapter.”

Hatfield Marker brings more than 25 years of experience in strategy and leadership. At Carle Health, she has strengthened philanthropic strategy and improved coordination across the system. She has successfully led campaign strategies, fundraising performance management, pipeline development and cross-regional coordination, helping teams identify opportunities and align philanthropic support with priorities throughout Carle Health. Her efforts have helped secure more than $8 million in philanthropic support.

“I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve Carle Health in this new role and humbled to build on the strong foundation Beth and our Center for Philanthropy team have created," Hatfield Marker said. "Philanthropy is rooted in relationships with our team members, volunteers, donors and community partners, and I’m excited to continue strengthening those relationships together. Our opportunity is to connect the generosity of our communities with the strategic priorities of Carle Health in ways that create meaningful, lasting impact for our patients, our people and the communities we serve.”

As a not-for-profit health system, Carle Health reinvests philanthropic support into patient care, innovation, community programs and services that improve health within and beyond hospital and clinic walls. In her new role, Hatfield Marker will lead philanthropic strategy across Carle Health, working with teams, donors and communities throughout the system to strengthen that impact.

Hatfield Marker and Katsinas will work closely during the leadership transition to maintain momentum for the campaign for Carle Health and continue building philanthropic partnerships that support patients, families and communities across every region Carle Health serves.
