The AdventHealth New Smyrna Beach Foundation has announced the appointment of three new members to its Board of Directors: Mark Billings, Phillip Grudzinski, and Anne Kerr.
The Foundation supports the hospital’s vision of providing high-quality, faith-based care close to home. Through philanthropic partnerships, it helps expand health care services and meet the evolving needs of the Southeast Volusia community.
Each of the new board members brings strong local ties and a track record of leadership and service:
