In this role, Pothin Owen will oversee the financial operations of three hospitals – AdventHealth DeLand in DeLand, AdventHealth Fish Memorial in Orange City, and AdventHealth Waterman in Tavares – which together serve thousands of patients each year with 737 inpatient beds and a team of more than 4,500 employees.

In her new role, she will help guide AdventHealth’s continued growth in the region, ensuring the health system remains strong and ready to serve for generations to come.
“Health care is about people first, and every financial decision we make should lead to better care, stronger hospitals, and healthier communities,” Pothin Owen said. “I’m honored to join this incredible team and help shape the future of health care in this region.”
