HONESDALE, PA — Ronald Schmalzle, a businessman from Pike County, is the newest member of the Wayne Memorial Hospital & Health System Board of Trustees. Wayne Memorial, headquartered in Wayne County, has offered outpatient services in Pike County for more than three decades.

Schmalzle is a familiar face in Pike County. He is president and co-owner/general manager of the Recreation Management Group, which owns and/or operates three popular visitor venues: Ski Big Bear, Costa’s Family Fun Park and Masthope Mountain Community, which is a four-season, year-round and second-home private residential community.

“As a native of Pike County with a lifelong career of leadership in commercial recreation in our region,” said Schmalzle, “I look forward to having both insight and input on healthcare services for my family, my community and the many people who visit here to enjoy all that the northern Poconos offer.”

Since 1993, Schmalzle has also been the executive director and, most recently, a retainer-based consultant for several children’s camps, including Pine Forest Camp, Lake Owego Camp and Camp Timber Tops. He is a graduate of Wallenpaupack High School and Marywood University.
