BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – The Brevard Heart Foundation board has appointed Kathy Conrad as the organization’s new Executive Director.

The Brevard Heart Foundation seeks to make a positive impact within our local community through supporting healthcare initiatives that improve the lives of Brevard County residents. As an investment in the next generation of quality healthcare providers, the Foundation has also provided over $740,000 in nurse and medical student merit-based scholarships through our annual scholarship program.

“With a diverse professional background and a strong commitment to the community, Kathy brings a wealth of experience and leadership to the organization,” said BHF president and Health First cardiologist, Dr. Kevin Campbell.

A graduate of the University of Georgia, Conrad holds a bachelor’s degree in social work and her early career was marked by a successful tenure in the banking industry, where she served as a private banker.

In this role, Conrad worked closely with affluent clients, helping them manage their banking, lending, and investment needs. Her ability to build relationships and understand the unique needs of her clients made her a trusted advisor in the financial sector. Following her successful banking career, Conrad transitioned into real estate, where she has spent the last eight years.

Her dedication and skill in the industry have earned her recognition and success, further demonstrating her ability to thrive in challenging environments.
