Melanie has leader experience as a DON at two different facilities. Melanie’s pride and joy includes her two daughters Hailey and Emily, 1 son Landon, and grandbabies Atticus Paul (2), Zander (1), and Daxon (10). Melanie enjoys spending time with her grandbabies and her heart fills with joy when they call her “lolli”.

Melanie’s goal is to focus on the appointment of a fresh leader in a nursing department, highlighting her qualifications, key priorities for the role, and potential strategies to address current challenges within the unit such as staff retention, quality improvement, and patient care initiatives.
