Ascension St. Vincent’s Foundation has appointed Darren White, its former director of donor relations and stewardship, as its new executive director.
White served in his previous role for a year and a half, during which time he supported medical technology advancements, oversaw the acquisition of critical equipment, and facilitated growth in ministry outreach efforts, like the Mobile Health Outreach Ministry and the Good Samaritan Fund.
White said he is inspired by the legacy left by the Daughters of Charity, responsible for establishing St. Vincent’s Hospital in 1916.
“They didn’t just fundraise, they helped heal, uplift and transform lives,” White said. “That’s the kind of legacy I want to continue through the Foundation’s work.”
Prior to joining ASVF, White served as associate vice president at Texas Wesleyan University.
White is also active within his community, volunteering for the Riverside Avondale Preservation Music Tour and serving as treasurer for the Murray Hill Preservation Association. He also sits on the Health Equity Committee of the Jacksonville Transformation Coalition.
