      Manager: Kristin MerrittNo one knows how much Kristin does, she not only handles all of our Human Resources issues, but prepares and does all the HIPAA training for new employees, and does ALL the credentialing which takes innumerable hours with several hospitals. That is enough to earn her a shining star every month but she has actually stepped up to help cover our business administration duties while Melisa is on maternity leave. All this without complaining! Kristin is an exceptionally gifted organizer, an outstanding manager, and a remarkable human being. God blessed us greatly with her.
