Governing Bodies
An agreement between the ECU Medical & Health Sciences Foundation and Vidant Health Foundation has been signed and executed, creating the ECU Health Foundation. The two entities will align to operate as one philanthropic arm supporting ECU Health and ECU’s health sciences campus. Under the agreement, the two foundations will remain separate legal entities, but will integrate under a new shared brand known as ECU Health Foundation.
