When it comes to supporting Jacksonville’s medical industry, it’s hard to beat the behind-the-scenes work and dedication of Leslie Redd, Associate Vice President of Development at Jacksonville University. The former University of Maryland, John Hopkins, Mayo Clinic and Baptist Hospital development professional is now focused on finishing the funding for Jacksonville University’s new multi-use health sciences building. The center will house all of the medical related schools including nursing and applied sciences; a simulation center for academic and community involvement; an orthodontic clinic; a healthcare center for students; and space for community healthcare providers. The project’s philanthropic goal is $30M. The facility is expected to be completed in 2020 on the north side of the JU campus. In addition to the health center, Leslie is involved with funding scholarships, PhD programs and medical research. Leslie, an active Rotarian, has a deep passion for medical excellence in Jacksonville. She can be reached at lredd@ju.edu. Leslie is on the left in this “Lunch with Les” photo.
