Easterseals Welcomes New Board Member

Easterseals Delaware & Maryland’s Eastern Shore recently welcomed Walter Kowal, of Wilmington, DE, to its Board of Directors.

“As a physical therapist and now as someone who oversees healthcare services at Nemours Children’s Health, Delaware Valley, I have devoted my life to providing healthcare to people in need,” Kowal said. “As someone who has lived and worked for the last 20+ years in the coverage area of Easterseals Delaware & Maryland’s Eastern Shore, I would love nothing more than to contribute to the Easterseals mission as a member of the Board.”

Kowal is an accomplished healthcare leader with 20+ years of experience overseeing multiple departments in various healthcare settings. He currently serves as the Vice President of Business Operations Hospital-Based Services at Nemours Children’s Health System where he has been employed since 2019. He earned a bachelor’s degree in communication and master’s degrees in physical therapy and business administration.

“Ensuring that all people with disabilities and their families have equal opportunities to live, learn, work, and play in their communities is vitally important to the community,” Kowal said. “It takes people willing to give back to help ensure people with disabilities reach their maximum potential. I would like nothing more than to make sure that happens in my own community.”
