“An effective leader understands the importance of a common mission, shared vision and strong culture in driving organizational success,” Brown said. “Eric is committed to building on this foundation and partnering with our DeLand leaders, providers and team members to deliver high-quality, faith-based health care in support of our mission.”
Lunde earned a Master of Business Administration from Walden University, a Master of Education from Lesley University and a Bachelor of Science in commercial art from Union College.
