Past President
Donna Larson
Space Coast Health Foundation
Donna Larson is the Vice President of Operations for the Space Coast Health Foundation in Rockledge, Florida. In this role, she oversees human resources, insurance program administration, the grant funding process, and facilities management. While in her role as paralegal for a health system several years ago, Ms. Larson gained experience in insurance program administration and litigation management in areas specific to medical malpractice, premises liability, director and officer, employment and workers compensation claims.
