SunTrust Celebrates 80-Year Affiliation with $250,000 Philanthropic Investment in Orlando Health
SunTrust is one of Orlando Health’s oldest and most valued relationships.
The gift was presented by SunTrust Chairman and CEO William H. Rogers, Jr. during a visit to Orlando Health. The donation supports Orlando Regional Medical Center’s new redesign and renovation project — the largest in Orlando Health’s history — which is currently under construction.
“At SunTrust, we believe that when you build your communities, you build your bank,” said Rogers. “We have been proud to serve as the primary bank for Orlando Health, and with this donation, we acknowledge its excellence in serving the healthcare needs of Central Florida residents and visitors. We are proud to be a trusted partner as Orlando Health introduces a new model of patient care.”
“SunTrust is one of Orlando Health’s oldest and most valued relationships. Since 1934, SunTrust has served as steadfast business partners and valued philanthropic investors. We would not be the same organization today without its long history of partnering,” said Jamal Hakim, MD, interim president and CEO, Orlando Health.
David Fuller, president and CEO, Central Florida Division, SunTrust Bank and Orlando Health Foundation board member added, “Ensuring that Central Florida’s residents have access to quality health care is critical for the success of our region. As Orlando Health begins the countdown to its centennial in 2018 and prepares for the next 100 years serving our community, we are proud to invest in this important expansion.”
Last month, Orlando Health announced it will remain independent and launch a national search for a CEO.
Orlando Regional Medical Center’s (ORMC) redesign and renovation project will allow the hospital to foster a new patient experience, including greater accessibility to clinical experts, more coordinated and collaborated care, advanced diagnostics and more timely results.
