Assistant Director Steps Up to Support Team

In Cartersville, Georgia, Theresa Martin joined the local HHS team as assistant director in March 2018. There have been some challenges to work through in the year since she’s been on the job, including some staffing issues, record high census, and multiple areas of construction. Towards the end of the year, the EVS director at the facility suddenly left his role with very little warning, leaving Theresa in charge after just a few months at the facility.

"[Theresa] has a strong positive attitude and is always willing to learn and apply, and improve not only her skills, but also the performance of the operation. I look forward to Theresa demonstrating her leadership prowess until the new director is on-boarded, and beyond.”

Vice President of Operations Greg Carter has been very impressed by the work Theresa has done, saying, “Theresa has truly done an amazing job winning over the customer contacts and admin team over the last couple months, and has motivated the team to give her, the patients, and the customer the best they can every shift. And now, as we've lost our director, Theresa has stepped up and offered to support the team as the interim director. I am very proud of what Theresa's accomplished, and how she's developed since joining the Cartersville team in March. She has a strong positive attitude and is always willing to learn and apply, and improve not only her skills, but also the performance of the operation. I look forward to Theresa demonstrating her leadership prowess until the new director is on-boarded, and beyond.”
