‘We Are In A Caring Profession’

Besides being the face of the hospital, Gregory is responsible for implementing strategy and business development initiatives, overseeing revenue planning and the capital budget, and physician relations.
Add a family that includes his wife Amy, two sons Max and Brooks and his daughter Campbell, and Gregory is busy from when the sun comes up until it sets.
But that doesn’t stop him from putting in even more hours volunteering and helping others.
“We are in a caring profession and it seems our colleagues are “wired” to find ways to serve beyond the walls of our clinics and hospitals,” Gregory said.
Volunteerism for Gregory comes into play across health care. Nurses, doctors and technicians go above and beyond their jobs to help train the next generation of clinicians.
At the executive leadership level, he said he has learned valuable skills, developed relationships and learned to be a role model to those he leads, he added.
MARCH OF BABIES
Currently, he serves on the board of the Brevard Health Alliance, which provides primary health care services to residents regardless of their ability to pay.
And, as the chair of the 2014 March of Babies, he helped the annual event attract more than 500 walkers who raised more than $247,000 for community programs that help moms have healthy babies and funds cutting-edge research, education and vaccines.
The busy leader became involved with the Doctor’s Goodwill Foundation (DGF) after being introduced by Dr. Ashish Udeshi.
“He talked to me about the role DGF played in his life and those he has served,” Gregory said.
“We share a common mission with DGF in supporting health and wellness of those in Brevard County. We value our partnership and respect our physicians’ colleagues who admirably serve DGF’s mission.”
