SETTING A STRONGER ‘FOUNDATION’

April Kauffman has been appointed to serve as president of the Florida Hospital Waterman Foundation. She began her career with the foundation in 1988 as director of development and later assumed responsibilities for volunteer services and the gift shop. During her career, she helped lead three successful capital campaigns totaling $13 million to build the Florida Hospital Waterman Cancer Institute and the Florida Hospital Waterman Heart Center.

“April is an incredible leader for the foundation,” says David Ottati, the hospital’s president and chief executive officer. “Through her many years of experience with Florida Hospital Waterman, April has been committed to the mission and values of our organization, and we look forward to her continued success in her new role leading the foundation.”
