Our community lost a longstanding and loyal friend when F. Kevin Tylus passed away in December 2022. Kevin and his wife, Ginger, were no strangers to their love for their community; they were civic and philanthropic leaders for decades. They shared their passion and commitment for dozens of organizations, including the Hun School, Gettysburg College, Springdale Country Club, the Nassau Club, and Penn Medicine Princeton Health (PMPH).

Kevin and his family have a long and storied history with Princeton Health. His mother was a nurse at what was then Princeton Hospital and was one of a handful of the hospital’s longest employees. Through high school, Kevin worked at the hospital in the grounds keeping department, and in college, he worked as an orderly. It was then that he met Ginger, a nurse. Kevin’s deep ties to the hospital remained through his 40-plus years in the Princeton area. Most recently, he served as the co-chair of our upcoming cancer center expansion efforts, to which he and Ginger made a leadership donation to kick off the fundraising. 

“We are profoundly grateful for Kevin’s leadership and dedication. He and his family have left a lasting legacy on our hospital and the thousands of patients, staff, and community members. Kevin’s passing leaves a void in our hearts, and we remain more committed than ever to honor his work in bringing the very best cancer care to our community,” said James Demetriades, CEO, PMPH. 

His legacy of support, enthusiasm, and leadership will inspire our staff and community for years to come. We are grateful to Kevin and Ginger for their deeply meaningful gift, which will help transform cancer care for generations of patients.
