We are #ECUHealthProud of Brian Dunn, chief financial officer, ECU Health, for being one of Becker’s Hospital Review’s 41 Rural Hospital and Health System CFOs to Know for 2026. The recognition comes after Dunn was named CFO in July 2026 to oversee financial operations for both ECU Health and the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University. “This recognition reflects the hard work to help position ECU Health as the national model for sustainable academic rural health care,” Dunn said. “As we continue to work toward meeting our mission to improve the health and well-being of eastern North Carolina, we must continue to be mindful of our fiscal health and resource management. We remain focused on being responsible stewards of our resources so we can continue investing in the people, programs and services our communities depend on.” To learn more about this recognition, visit the ECU Health Newsroom link in our bio.
