Florida Hospitals in Volusia and Flagler counties honored local cancer survivors June 5 with a special event at the Daytona International Speedway’s 500 Club. As part of National Cancer Survivors Day, more than 400 cancer survivors and family members explored the Daytona International Speedway and heard testimonials from cancer survivors and physicians.
Cancer survivor Dee Stevens, of Palm Coast, said the event brought tears to her eyes, and she had goose bumps.
“It is fabulous to see so many people who have fought so hard and have survived,” she said.
The event ended on a positive note, with information about the future of cancer treatments, according to a press release.
Security First Insurance Company, based in Ormond Beach, has announced the appointment of Melissa Burt DeVriese as chief administrative officer. She retains the title of general counsel. “As our premium grows toward the $500 million mark, we are required to meet certain regulatory requirements,” said Locke Burt, chairman and president, in a press release. “Melissa is well-suited to lead the development of the company’s new compliance department. In her new role, she will also now oversee human resources, executive administration and the company's plan to build and move into a new headquarters in Volusia County within the next three years.”
DeVriese has worked as legislative counsel to U.S. Representative Sam Graves and was the primary attorney to the general counsel for the U.S. Department of Transportation in Washington, D.C. She received her law degree from Georgetown University Law Center.
