Developed Community Benefit Report and communication plans for reporting and leveraging the value of Nemours Children’s Health System community impact:

• Received recognition from the National Association of Children’s Hospitals (NACHRI) who identified inaugural Community Benefit Report as national gold standard;

• Asked by NACHRI to speak nationally on Best Practices and to join a NACHRI governing board (most junior hospital employee ever appointed);

• Advised Marketing, PR and Development/Fundraising departments on utilizing the community benefit story; Development experienced a double-digit YOY increase in fundraising;

• Nemours’ submission – in its final allowed attempt – of the Community Benefit Report to the Florida State Legislature was the linchpin in receiving permission to build its children’s hospital in Orlando, FL.
