Almasi Promoted to Community Relations Leadership Role at Orlando Health

Orlando, FL (June 27, 2023) – Megan Almasi, who managed community relations at Orlando Health South Seminole Hospital for more than five years and became a fixture in the community throughout Seminole County, has been promoted to senior director of community relations for Orlando Health. 

During her time at Orlando Health South Seminole Hospital, Almasi made significant contributions to the organization. She developed and fostered relationships with over one hundred of the region’s nonprofit, for-profit, and economic development agencies. In her new role, she will be responsible for the oversight of community relations and effectively support Orlando Health’s growth strategy. 

Almasi is a graduate of Rollins College with a BA in English and MBA with concentrations in Marketing and Entrepreneurship. She currently serves on the Leadership Business Advisory Board for the Crummer Graduate School of Business at Rollins College, the board of directors for the Rotary Club of Lake Mary, the Lake Mary Police Department Heroes Foundation, and the executive council for Leadership Seminole. 

Almasi’s promotion paves the way for a change in the community relations role at Orlando Health South Seminole Hospital and the future Orlando Health Lake Mary Hospital. 

Danica Kramer, who joined the Orlando Health community relations team in 2016 and has served in many important capacities since that time, is shifting her focus to Orlando Health’s Northeast Region. 

Kramer has managed community relations for Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital, Orlando Health Winnie Palmer Hospital, Orlando Health Cancer Institute, and Orlando Health Digestive Health Institute. 

Prior to joining Orlando Health, she worked as a fundraiser for local non-profit organizations including HOPE Helps and the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation. Kramer has also served in volunteer leadership roles with the Oviedo Winter Springs Regional Chamber of Commerce, Ronald McDonald House, St. Luke’s Lutheran Church, and the Junior League of Greater Orlando. She is a fourth generation Central Floridian with roots in Seminole County.
