Summary

I have worked in the health care setting most of my career. I started at Kennestone hospital before it became Wellstar Health Systems. I worked in central supply and then went on to do inventory for the operating room and then as a buyer.

I then went to Pinnacle Orthopaedics and scheduled epidurals and other tests. When a new building was built in Canton I went to the Physical therapy department and helped the therapists when needed and ran the front desk making appointments, answering calls,

pulling patient charts, billing ect. I then came full circle to work in Central Sterile Supply at Piedmont Mountainside and retired from there but would like to come back. I really miss the work and the people.
