St. Vincent’s HealthCare Foundation President and Chief Development Officer (CDO) Jane R. Lanier, CFRE, will retire effective July 12, 2019. Virginia Hall, now the Foundation’s vice president, will assume the role of president and chief development officer upon Lanier’s retirement.
“It has been my great honor to lead the St. Vincent’s HealthCare Foundation,” said Lanier, who has provided leadership for the Foundation since 1999. “I joined this wonderful organization because I wholeheartedly believe in its mission and I will always support it. I am from Jacksonville, with deep roots here, so I look forward to continuing to serve this community, while spending time with my husband, grandchildren and the rest of my family.”
Over the course of her career at St. Vincent’s, Lanier and her team have raised more than $150 million, according to a press release from St. Vincent’s. Lanier has helped facilitate numerous developments and innovations for St. Vincent’s, including expansion of the health system. Per the release, her work also helped fund and further develop numerous programs within the health system, including growing the Mobile Health Outreach Ministry into an entire fleet of doctors-offices-on-wheels that visit areas of the community where care is needed most. Her leadership has been recognized both locally and nationally. In 2013, Jacksonville Magazine named Lanier one of the most influential people in Jacksonville healthcare. In 2014, the Catholic Health Association honored her with the Sister Mary Concilia Moran Award.
“I couldn’t possibly list all of the meaningful ways Jane has positively contributed to the mission and ministry of St. Vincent’s HealthCare over the course of her distinguished career,” said Tom VanOsdol, president and CEO of Ascension Florida. “She inspires compassion and generosity in others and has successfully engaged countless members of our community as partners in ministry to support the life-saving and life-affirming work we do. We must now work to build on Jane’s incredible legacy, and I’m completely confident Virginia Hall is the right person to do just that.”
Hall is a fourth-generation resident of Clay County and is active in the business and civic community. She served six years on the Green Cove Springs City Council and was the city’s youngest mayor. Hall has been with St. Vincent’s HealthCare since 2012. Before joining the Foundation, she served as St. Vincent’s HealthCare’s system director of advocacy and community engagement and helped with the opening of St. Vincent’s Medical Center Clay County. She is also the executive director of the J.P. Hall Children’s Charities, created by her father and named after her grandfather.
“I am so honored to have the privilege to lead the St. Vincent’s HealthCare Foundation,” Hall said. “Jane has set an example, not just for me, but for so many people she has mentored over the years. Our Foundation helps provide St. Vincent’s with the resources needed to care for our community and I look forward to continuing and expanding this important work.”
