Lynn Ledford, lab assistant at Saint Joseph Berea, is a small-town person at heart, but she also has what you might call dual citizenship. Though the Garrard County resident lives in Cartersville where she grew up and has family ties, she also has a claim to Berea, where she has extended deep roots into that community, too, because of her job of nearly 25 years. The relationships are so strong that she has had patients call into the lab to be sure she’ll be on duty when they come in for a blood draw. “To me, it’s being in the community. It’s just a small community and I love it. I feel like I’d be fine in a bigger hospital, but my heart is at Berea,” she said. To read more about Lynn, visit https://ow.ly/UQLc50SyHxK.

Connie Charles, MSN, RN, CCRN, director of nursing at Saint Joseph Hospital, grew up in Beattyville, where helping her father care for sick animals on the family farm kindled her interest in science in medicine. A member of the Saint Joseph Hospital team for 17 years, Connie’s experience led her to pursue a career in nursing and ultimately serve in a variety of leadership roles, including charge nurse, supervisor and nursing manager. She credits her experiences in both the bedside and administrative sides of nursing for preparing her for her current position, where she makes decisions that affect nearly all aspects of patient care. “As a leader, my vision for nursing at Saint Joseph Hospital is to advocate for delivering the right care at the right time, and continue practicing human caring when the world around us seems to be wandering away from the human connection,” Charles said. “May we continue listening to our patients and their families as we place them at the center of our medical planning and decision-making.” To read more about Connie, visit https://lnkd.in/gXGdcaVT.
