Founder Members

Health Administration Department

Since the formation of a speared Department of Health Administration at UNF in 2017, the new Department is growing with more students and new programs. In order to meet some of the needs of the students and faculty, a Foundation Account was created. Initial supporters of the Health Administration Department are FOUNDER MEMBERS with a pledge of support of ongoing support. Founder members are recognized with a FOUNDERS WALL outside Health Administration office in Brooks Hall to help support the activities of our Department. Founder members enjoy including invitations to select UNF events. The following members have committed to support the program as FOUNDERS:
