Dr. Lauretta A. Farrell joined the Treasure Coast Community Health (TCCH) team as the Chief Development Officer. Dr. Farrell brings over 40 years of experience and over $500 million raised creating and executing campaigns for educational, healthcare, and non-profit institutions. She has a proven successful record in guiding transformational growth among the organizations she serves. Her vision and strategic thinking provide both a foundation and ongoing framework for expansion that enables agencies to grow from local service providers to regional and national models of fundraising and operational excellence.

In addition to her philanthropic endeavors, Dr. Farrell possesses an extensive background in human rights advocacy on a global level. Some of her most notable work included the launch of the Macedonian chapter of the Global Women’s Leadership Network, an international organization that helps women step out of survival and dependence into their inherent power, while she worked with the national credit union system in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia to assist with their expansion of services by training staff to better meet members’ financial needs. As Director of the Human Rights Institute at Kean University and creator of the school’s Civil Rights Travelearn program, an opportunity for students to travel to Ireland to learn about the fight for civil rights in the north of Ireland, Dr. Farrell increased the scope of her human rights advocacy into academia.

At TCCH, Dr. Farrell oversees fundraising for the organization, allowing her to tap into her extensive experience in human rights advocacy and philanthropic work. “Fundraising at TCCH is more than just an altruistic act – it’s a decision to invest in healthcare,” Dr. Farrell explains. “Keeping people healthy keeps our workforce, schools, and overall, our communities moving forward. We all have a self-interest in making sure our communities are healthy and functioning, and I was able to bring that perspective from my previous work to my current responsibilities here at TCCH.”
