I’m Terry Forde, President and CEO of Health First. I’m excited to connect, listen, and share more about the incredible work happening across our organization. This year marks a major milestone for Health First: 30 years of caring for the people of Brevard County and the surrounding communities. While I wasn’t here at the beginning, I’m honored to help carry forward this mission and share where we’re headed next. Founded in 1995, Health First was built on a bold vision to bring hospital care, physicians, wellness services, and health coverage together to better serve our community. Today, that vision is growing. We’re expanding access and investing in people-centered care through some exciting projects: a new Cape Canaveral Hospital, an expanded Palm Bay Hospital, two freestanding ERs in Rockledge and South Brevard, and the latest addition, an expansion at Viera Hospital. Each of these reflects the strength and growth of our community. I look forward to using this space to not only update you all about our projects but also to highlight the people who make our vision possible, like our associates, clinicians, and community partners. #healthfirstcares #brevard

This week, Brevard Public Schools students got a hands-on look at healthcare careers during Summer Camp at Health First’s Holmes Regional Medical Center. They toured departments, observed mock surgeries, met care teams, and even explored our First Flight helicopter. 🚁 “I was always interested in medicine and helping people, but I didn’t really know what I wanted to do. This experience has helped me tremendously,” one student shared. Health First is proud to offer entry-level roles and training programs that lead to meaningful careers. By introducing students to these opportunities early, we’re helping shape the future of healthcare in our community.
