Dwight Gascho A 36-Year Legacy to be said for that. There’s a part that Scheurer will always be a part of me. It wasn’t a passing opportunity that led to another opportunity

Upon Dwight’s retirement in 2016 the Scheurer Health Foundation established the Dwight Gascho Leadership Fund, which was created to support further education, leadership development and recognition of its outstanding leaders on an annual basis. Past recipients of the “Dwight Gascho Leadership Award” include Laurie Polega of Diagnostic Imaging, Marci Rievert of Acute Care and Lori Sweetman of the former Long Term Care unit. Over the last seven years, the leadership fund has grown from wide community support.

Those memories are now treasures to me.” And as only Dwight could do, he concluded his career’s reflection with an enormously amount of underselling, “There’s a legacy in there somewhere. I’m just proud to have been a part of it. I just couldn’t be prouder of Scheurer.”

Part of his retirement gift in 2016, Dwight received a Les Paul guitar from the staff of Scheurer. Here, Dwight debuts the new guitar with his band, “The Flashbacks” at his retirement party, as Jay Dubey, fellow board of trustee, friend and bandmate cheers the crowd on after playing “Johnny B. Goode.”
