Harrell Recognized for Leadership to Halifax Horizons

The Board of Directors of Halifax County Business Horizons (Halifax Horizons), Inc. recently honored Jason Harrell, President of ECU Health North Hospital, presenting a plaque in recognition of his exceptional leadership as Vice-President of the organization for the past two years.  In making the presentation, Horizons President Scott Aman commented, “Jason’s contributions to the Hospital, Halifax Horizons,  and all of Halifax County have been invaluable.  On behalf of the entire membership of Halifax Horizons, we are pleased to honor him with this plaque as a small token of our appreciation for his leadership. Aman added, “Jason will definitely be missed.”

Harrell has more than 30 years of experience in healthcare and served as vice president of patient care services before being promoted to President of ECU Health North Hospital. He has seen the Hospital through some very difficult times, including the COVID pandemic and major flooding of the Hospital from a pipe cap failure in 2023.

Harrell has been instrumental in raising awareness regarding the importance of broadband for rural health care and the need for housing to support the recruitment of physicians and healthcare workers to our community.

“I am excited about all I see that is happening in this area and the potential for the future,” commented Harrell. “I appreciate the support and confidence that Halifax Horizons and the entire community have shown me during my time here.”
