Nadine Thomas has been working in the healthcare field for over 50 years, and she's spent the last 3 years at NaphCare. Nadine works as a Health Services Administrator (HSA) in Gwinnet County (GA). When she got the call for an interview almost 4 years ago, she was curious as to what working in a jail would be like. To her surprise, the facility was, in her words, "just like a high school campus with people walking around," and no different from the hospitals she was used to. Nadine's background is in licensing and accreditation, which has helped her in forming relationships with our partners in Gwinnett County (GA). When it was time for her promotion to HSA, Nadine says she leaned on her NaphCare support system in Courtney Lassister and David Crawford for guidance, and that having them as a resource made a big difference. She believes it's her duty to mentor young nurses and prepare them to be HSAs one day. Nadine has saved many lives during her tenure in correctional healthcare, and we're proud to have her on .
