“Joining the hospital’s inaugural board is a tremendous honor,” said board chair David Duda, whose family has longstanding ties to Oviedo and previously owned the property where the hospital is located. “Oviedo Medical Center will be a significant asset to our community, and we’re committed to enhancing the well-being of our patients and their families.”
KC Donahey, CEO of Oviedo Medical Center, added: “Our intent was to create a community-driven board composed of both medical experts and local leaders. These individuals will be responsible for building the culture of the hospital for years to come – focused on clinical excellence, recruiting outstanding physicians and delivering an exceptional patient experience.”
