“Jody is the "go-to" for all things nursing. She has earned the respect of her peers, physicians and direct reports by her work ethic and willingness to assist with whatever task in whatever role needed. Several times, she has functioned in the nurse supervisor role as well as continuing her duties as nurse manager. Jody has participated in several performance improvement projects throughout the last year, resulting in improving metrics for the hospital. Jody is often the first person to recognize an employee's birthday or important milestones (i.e. successful certification exam, graduation, etc.). She is a vital member of the nursing leadership team, and I personally would not be successful without her contribution.”- Trish Hollifield, BSN, RN, Chief Nursing Officer, Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Chattanooga.
