June 15, 2006-Miami, Fl. - Circle of One Marketing has just added Melissa Dunn as Project Manager to “the Circle”. Circle of One Marketing is a minority owned full service advertising and marketing company whose expertise in connecting their client base with the emerging African American and Caribbean markets has earned them a host of high profile, A-list clients.

As Project Manager, Ms. Dunn’s primary focus will be working on outreach and marketing for the much anticipated State of Florida Medicaid Reform initiative in Broward County. This effort is being administered by the Agency for Healthcare Administration (AHCA) and executed by ACS Healthcare, who Circle of One Marketing has partnered with on this important project.

Ms. Dunn brings over 6 years experience as the Director of Community Health Initiatives and Health Systems for the American Cancer Society of New York City and the Manhattan Breast Health Partnership. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology from Judson College and has completed some graduate work in Public Administration at the University of Miami. A veteran to the business of health care, Ms. Dunn has quickly established her ground and rapport with Broward’s community, health care and faith based organizations.

Melissa Dunn’s comments, “Everyone, regardless of their income, ethnicity or social status should have access to quality health care. It can mean the difference between life and death. Joining the Circle of One team on this important Medicaid Reform project allows me to follow my heart and positively affect the community’s access to healthy choices in South Florida.”

Suzan McDowell, President and CEO of Circle of One Marketing states “Melissa’s strong background in community health and outreach, coupled with her passion for access to health care for all made her a natural for our team and for this particular scope of work. We’re all about “getting it done” for our clients and we’ve seen that Melissa embodies that spirit as well.”
