Janice Brumit, Board Chair of Mission Medical Associates and a Mission Health Board Member, was awarded the coveted 2017 Trustee Merit Award from the North Carolina Hospital Association. The recognition, which is among the organization’s highest honors, was awarded July 20 during NCHA’s annual summer meeting in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
“One of her greatest contributions is leading us through a transitional shift in our culture and positioning us to really be prepared for the future,” said Taylor Foss, Mission Health’s Senior Vice President of Organizational Transformation.
She has been an instrumental member and chair of the Mission Health Board, shepherding the board and the wider community through administrative and cultural changes as the system grew. In addition to serving Mission Health and the Mission Health Department of Philanthropy, Brumit has or does serve on the boards of the Blue Ridge Regional Hospital, Mission Medical Associates and the Mountain Area Health Education Center.
A native of Avery County and resident of Asheville, Brumit’s community involvement includes notable community organizations including the United Way, UNC Asheville, Child Abuse Prevention Services, Eblen Charities, Special Olympics, Eliada Homes, Habitat for Humanity, Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College, the University of North Carolina at Asheville, Charlotte United Christian Academy, the North Carolina Autism Association and Toys for Tots.
