The Foundation traces its roots back to 1981 when visionary community leaders— Bert “Gator” Reames, Jimmie Huger, Hal Marchman, Fred Leonhardt, T.K. Wetherell, Howard Tipton and many more local icons—came together with a shared commitment to supporting our publicly owned health system. They understood the importance of assembling a group of engaged citizens to advocate for Halifax Health and ensure its continued strength in providing exceptional care.
Today, the Halifax Health Foundation carries forward that mission by supporting the latest technology, medical advancements, and programs that serve as a beacon of hope for all of Volusia County. I would welcome the opportunity to introduce you to the Foundation’s work and explore ways in which you might engage in this meaningful legacy.
