Mark Whitney most recently served as the Vice President for Strategy, Community Relations and Advancement for Exeter Health Resources. He served as the organization’s Chief Strategy Officer, Chief Marketing and PR executive, and External Affairs lead and executive in charge of philanthropy. With a distinguished career in healthcare and a deep-rooted commitment to their community, Mark will bring valuable insights to the board as the organization continues to expand its impact.
