At Team Cone, we believe our responsibility extends beyond the beverage supply chain. Our Team Cone AdventHealth donation helps us support the community that has blessed us for over 41 years. Community contribution is a core value rooted deeply in our company culture.
Ocala remains one of the fastest-growing cities in the country. This growth creates a critical need for expanded hospital services. Our local community is growing faster than current maternal care capacity. Births in our area have increased by more than 20% over the past year. The local population grew by nearly 10%. Access to modern care is now more critical than ever.
To address this, we are proud to announce a $100,000 contribution. This Team Cone AdventHealth donation helps AdventHealth Ocala renovate and modernize their Labor & Delivery and Mother/Baby units.
As our Owner, Doug Cone, Jr., stated:
“If you’re going to live, work and play in Marion County you ought to want to see that we elevate healthcare here as much as we can. Father Time catches up with all of us in one form or another. At some point, you’re going to end up having a need – either you or a member of your family – for AdventHealth Ocala. And I think the vision and the mission of AdventHealth Ocala is substantially different and better than other hospitals.”
