Taylor, who handles marketing at Sarasota Memorial Healthcare Foundation champions fundraising and marketing efforts that relate to healthcare. This also happens to be her personal mission as her father died of a rare illness in 2010. Taylor says “To improve the healthcare for Sarasota through engagement and philanthropy changes so many things and in my case, the “patient” was my Dad. When it happens to you, this all becomes very real. Having world renowned physicians, facilities and clinicians in our backyard makes for an ongoing effort.”
