Ken Gladish to lead the Seton Foundations
Ken Gladish has accepted the position of president and CEO of the Seton Foundations. Ken is a nationally recognized leader in charitable and philanthropic endeavors.
Since 2008, Ken has been president and CEO of the Austin Community Foundation (ACF). During his tenure, ACF received more than $65 million in contributions and disbursed nearly $60 million to a wide range of charitable causes in Central Texas. Prior to joining ACF, Ken served as president of the YMCA of the USA and in academic leadership roles in Michigan and Indiana. He will begin his new role in November.
The Seton Foundations are comprised of the Seton Fund, Children's Medical Center Foundation of Central Texas, Seton Williamson Foundation and Seton Hays Foundation. In partnership with generous donors, these fundraising foundations raised nearly $19 million last year to support Seton's healthcare ministry in Central Texas.
Philanthropic support will continue to be critical to Seton's success as we expand medical education and innovative research across Central Texas as part of our partnership with UT Southwestern Medical School and The University of Texas System.
As Seton welcomes Ken Gladish, we again recognize the remarkable achievements of Gene Attal, who left Seton in January after 35 remarkable years of service. Under Gene's leadership, Seton's fundraising efforts supported the opening of the region's first neonatal intensive care unit, the region's only heart transplant center and construction of new facilities such as Dell Children's Medical Center of Central Texas, Seton Medical Center Williamson and Seton Medical Center Hays. In addition, we thank Gerald Hill, interim president of the Seton Foundations and executive director of the Seton Hays Foundation, for his exceptional leadership during his transition.
Please join us in welcoming Ken to the Seton Family of Hospitals. His expertise, vision and commitment will help us continue to ensure a vibrant and dynamic philanthropic partnership with the Central Texas community.
