Donor Spotlight: Mark Hunt

Mark Hunt has 15 years of diverse health care experience and resides in Atlanta, Georgia. He currently serves as the Vice President of Business Development for Genoa Consulting, a national long term care/post acute company which operates throughout the United States. Prior to Genoa Consulting, Mark served as the President and CEO of MedVentures, a company he founded in 2006. Mark is a 1985 graduate of the College of Health Sciences in Health Administration. He received his Master’s of Public Health in Health Policy and Management from the University of South Florida and completed coursework toward a Ph.D. in Health Administration at the University of South Carolina.

Mark is a member of the College of Health Sciences Philanthropy Board. In part due to his generosity and commitment to internationalization, the college has been able to offer financial assistance to the majority of students traveling abroad for academic credit.

“It is exciting to be part of the growth and development of the international programs at the College of Health Sciences,” Mark said. “The opportunity to support international service learning and experiences is one of the main reasons I have chosen to provide financial support to the college. Exploring other cultures will afford students an appreciation of the global health care needs that exist, while allowing them to experience both personal and professional rewards. Personally, some of my most valuable experiences are a result of my international travels and the exposure I have had to various cultures around the world. Recently, I decided to become a Fellow of the University of Kentucky through my support of the College of Health Sciences. I am confident my gifts will afford students numerous opportunities and benefits while contributing to the health care work force of the future. As a senior health care executive, it is rewarding to support the college which has provided me the invaluable education and path for my success today.”

The challenges that our clinicians, researchers, educators, alumni and students face are different than ever before. The health care landscape continuously changes, yet we are committed to educating clinicians and leaders who are ready and willing to take on these challenges. We have faculty that inspire, students enthralled with the discovery of knowledge, researched fueled by passion and places that need the services we can provide. What we are missing are the financial resources to recruit leading faculty, to fund student scholarships, to provide our researchers with the resources they need and to sponsor service learning experiences.

These dreams are within reach through your financial gifts.

Regardless of the amount you choose to give, you can make a difference. Each gift that is given to the College of Health Sciences is important.

Financial gifts aren’t only beneficial to the college. They can also help you achieve personal fulfillment, provide you with an income for life and serve as a tax benefit.
