Perkins County Health Services Foundation Welcomes New Director Lindsay Nodlinski

The Perkins County Health Services Foundation is proud to announce Lindsay Nodlinski as its new Foundation Director. Nodlinski officially began her new role on April 7, 2025, bringing with her a deep appreciation for community service, a passion for healthcare support, and a vibrant background in design and athletics.

Nodlinski's journey to the director position began when she was invited to join the Foundation Board as a representative of District 2. Shortly after her appointment, then-director Jane Hagan announced her decision to step down, opening the door for Nodlinski to take a more active leadership role. Motivated by her family's positive experiences with Perkins County Health Services and a strong desire to give back, she applied for the position.

"Perkins County Health Services has done so much for my family and for this community,” said Nodlinski. “I loved the idea of seeing what I could do to help PCHS continue to grow and thrive."

With a degree in Interior Design from the University of Nebraska at Kearney, where she also served as president of the Student Interior Design Organization, Nodlinski has spent much of her career in kitchen and bath design. She also spent seven years coaching volleyball at Ogallala High School. Most importantly, she says, her favorite title is “mom.” She and her husband, Jeff, who works as a Customer Business Advisor for Bayer, live north of Grant on their family farm with their three boys—Landon, Barrett, and Luke.

“We love living here. Jeff grew up in Grant, and it was important to us to raise our kids in a tight-knit, supportive community like this one,” she said. “In the summers, I take the boys swimming and fishing at Lake McConaughy where I grew up, and we love camping, gardening, and being outdoors.”

As Director, Nodlinski is hitting the ground running. Under her leadership, the Foundation recently purchased a new refrigerator and microwave for Park Ridge Assisted Living, responding to urgent equipment needs for residents. Up next, the Foundation will host an Employee Appreciation Hamburger Takeaway event on June 5, where board members will grill and package meals for PCHS employees and their families. Some of this year’s scholarship recipients will also be lending a hand during the event.

Looking ahead, Nodlinski is especially excited about a new fundraiser slated for September—a pickleball tournament to benefit the ICU through the purchase of a new defibrillator. Set to take place at Grant City Park (weather permitting), the event will feature mixed, men’s, and women’s doubles tournaments, a silent auction, and creative sponsorship opportunities.

“There’s a real joy in seeing our community come together,” she said. “Events like these not only support important causes but also help strengthen the connections that make Grant such a special place.”

“I’m grateful for the support this community already shows the Foundation,” Nodlinski added. “And I’d love to see everyone with paddles ready at the park on September 21!”
