George W. and Virginia Schneider

 
George and Virginia (Ginnie) Schneider have been benefactors of Little Company of Mary Hospital since its earliest days. In 1956 George successfully negotiated for the land where the hospital stands today. The Schneiders also were instrumental in raising the initial funds for the construction of the hospital. They have dedicated their time, personal talents and philanthropic support for over half a century, and are unparalleled in their efforts to make the Sisters’ vision of a Catholic health care system a reality in the South Bay.

 
George and Ginnie have continued their philanthropy and their active involvement at the hospital. Ginnie was a founding member of the Auxiliary of Little Company of Mary Hospital and continues to be an active member. She has served as a Eucharistic Minister for the hospital, as well as a charter member of Mary Potter and Company. George was the first layman elected to the hospital’s Board of Directors, where he served two terms with distinction, first as a Board member and then as Vice Chairman of the Board. He was President of the Little Company of Mary Advisory Board and President of the Foundation. In 1962 he founded the Centurion Club and was its Charter President.

The Schneiders’ Legacy Campaign endowment, which will be used to create the George W. and Virginia Schneider Institute for Nursing, is an extraordinary investment in the hospital’s future and the health of the surrounding communities. By furthering the education and advanced training of nursing students and Little Company of Mary staff, George and Ginnie will “make visible the healing presence of Jesus” at Little Company of Mary now and for decades to come.
