Internship Experience

Florida Hospital Foundation

Hi, My name is Robyn Lloyd and I am a senior HSA major. I got started on my internship early and have been working there a little more than a month now. So far, it has been a really great experience and everyday I continue to learn a little bit more.

The Florida Hospital Foundation is a part of the hospital that really interests me, they are the behind the scenes base to allowing different sections of the hospital to flourish and grow. They provide events, have annual funds, and other campaigns for different individuals needs as well as the overall greatest needs the hospital faces.

So far I have been able to learn about and work closely with the Foundation's annual fund, as well as the celebrity stroll that took place last month. It has been a great experience to learn about making phone calls, witness gift signings and listen in on executive meetings for the Diabetes board.

This past week I have been working on organizing candidates for the annual fund and helping to keep the Raisers Edge system updated. I have also been working on organizing raffle tickets and learning about calling for the annuals funds.

I will keep my blog updated weekly on the new things I am learning with the foundation. I hope everyone has a great semester!
