HONORING THE PAST, IMPACTING THE FUTURE

Scott Davis is not one to forget his roots.

The longtime Florida health care leader earned his master’s degree in the University of Iowa’s Graduate Program in Hospital and Health Administration in 1984, then went on to a successful career in public accounting and consulting before finding his way into health care financing. Over more than two decades with Memorial Healthcare System in South Florida, Davis’ responsibilities in corporate finance steadily expanded: He led management of Memorial’s hospital charges and revenue capture, oversaw the health system’s participation in the U.S. Public Health Services Act’s 340B Drug Pricing program, and led Memorial’s reporting to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid. All were vital components in one of the largest public health care systems in the nation. Widely recognized as an expert in governmental reimbursement, Davis was named Memorial’s Vice President of Reimbursement and Revenue Integrity in 2022.

Through their generous support of the College of Public Health’s Strategic Leadership Fund, Scott Davis and his wife, Anna, are honoring the Iowa education that helped prepare him for success. They are also impacting the future by ensuring outstanding learning opportunities for the next generation of health workers.

“Practice-based experiences are particularly important,” says Scott. “Being able to use the skills you developed and put them into practice is a high priority. We want to do what we can to make sure future professionals coming into the field are properly prepared to help move the U.S. health system forward.”
