Volusia County Leaders Share Why They Are Proud to Call the Region Home
Leaders share why they are proud to call the Volusia County region home. Beyond the shores of Daytona Beach, Volusia County’s 16 municipalities offer a premier landscape where families put down roots and businesses scale.
“Living and working in the Daytona Beach area is a privilege. We enjoy the beauty of the coast and the convenience of being close to major attractions, but what truly sets us apart is access to world-class health care right here at home. Halifax Health belongs to the people we serve, and that shared purpose drives everything we do. We intentionally collaborate with public and private schools, colleges and universities, so that specialized training and education are readily available. Working with the University of Florida, Florida State University and Daytona State College, among others, allows us to recruit the highest level of specialists so exceptional care is available, removing the need to look for care out of our area. Together with our partners, we’re building a stronger, healthier community.”
– Jeff Feasel, president and CEO, Halifax Health
“Daytona Beach is a community where history, opportunity and innovation intersect. For more than 120 years, Bethune-Cookman University has been rooted here, shaping leaders and driving progress – just as Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune had envisioned. Our students benefit from hands-on learning, strong community connections and a city that supports their success in the classroom and beyond.”
– Dr. Albert Mosley, president, Bethune-Cookman University
“This region of Central Florida is growing and dynamic, and Daytona State College reflects that vibrancy. Our motto is ‘You Belong Here,’ and we mean it. I am so proud of the tremendous educational opportunities we offer our residents, and for our ever-expanding community and business partnerships that we have built here in such a wonderful place we call home.”
– Thomas LoBasso, president, Daytona State College
“Volusia County is a place where people truly care for one another and invest in a shared future. Exceptional health care strengthens that sense of community, giving families confidence and helping the region grow with purpose. At AdventHealth Daytona Beach, our $220 million expansion reflects our commitment to clinical excellence, compassionate, whole-person care and long-term community well-being. By expanding advanced services and capacity, we’re ensuring high-quality care stays close to home – supporting healthy families, a strong workforce and a community where people can thrive.”
