I have worked in the Gordon community in the past as a home health nurse in the late 1990s and thoroughly enjoyed it, said Michelle. The Gordon community has always been warm and welcoming, not to mention the Gordon Hospital staff who have been wonderful since I started my new position. It feels like coming home.

Michelle has gained immeasurable knowledge through the positions she has held, such as chief nursing officer and director of quality and risk management.
Michelle is a member of the American Rehab Nurses Organization and recently joined the Georgia Organization of Nurse Leaders. She also received her Certified Rehabilitation Registered Nurse certification in December of 2015.
Originally from Chatsworth, Michelle currently resides in Ringgold, Georgia with her husband, Johnny, and her children, Bethany and Sam. Outside of her profession, Michelle likes to focus on her family.
