THE MISSION OF NAVICENT HEALTH:
Together, we elevate health and well-being
through compassionate care.
HOW DO YOU DEFINE SUCCESS? In
the end, I do not believe we will merely
be defined as successful if we had high
performing careers. Success also means
emphasizing faith, friendship, family and
community. In the end, we will be successful
if we left a place and a people better than
we found it.
RIGHT NOW, I'M MOST EXCITED
THAT:
People are beginning to look to
Macon-Bibb County to see how to begin
programs in their own communities. Dr.
Curtis Jones recently was recognized as
National Superintendent of the Year, calling
attention to the wonderful work taking
place in our school system. Navicent Health
recently was recognized with the American
Hospital Association's prestigious Equity
of Care Award in recognition of our efforts
to improve health equity and access to
healthcare services. Personally, I recently was
recognized as one of Modern Healthcare's
Top 25 Women Leaders in the country, and
also was nationally recognized by CEO
Connection. It is an exciting time to be in
Macon-Bibb County, and Navicent Health is
honored to positively impact our community.
YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED THAT:
Navicent Health is doing so much work
in the community to keep people well.
Through our Healthy Communities program,
we help provide education and resources
to prevent illness and injury. From providing
flu shots and a clinic at Daybreak for the
homeless, to placing health coaches in
neighborhoods and community centers,
we are working diligently to navigate our
residents to greater health and wellness.
