Employees at UF Health Jacksonville know Cecil Wright as a hard worker with a vibrant and giving personality. What they may not know is that her journey with the organization dates back to her birth.

“When I was born at Brewster Hospital,” Wright said, “my family lived in a house on 13th Street, and I learned my brother was also born at Brewster.”

In addition to being a “Brewster baby,” Wright later worked at Brewster for a number of years.

In addition to her work, Wright enjoys many types of volunteer work. She has been a Girl Scout leader and a Sunday school teacher for many years.

“I believe in a daily walk with God and maintaining your faith,” Wright said.

In 2020, Wright celebrated 59 years as an employee, the longest tenure of anyone in the organization.
