“Robin has been involved in the West Volusia community since she moved here over 20 years ago. Her passion for the DeLand community and our hospital’s mission will generate a much-needed energy and a new direction for our Foundation,” said Lorenzo Brown, AdventHealth DeLand CEO. “More importantly, her community relations experience and strategic marketing knowledge will help to strengthen the organization’s impact in DeLand and beyond.”

A DeBary resident, Roper earned an undergraduate degree in journalism and communications from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.
