Dawn is a Registered Nurse and is employed as an ACO Care Coordinator at Rural Health Group, Inc. in Roanoke Rapids.  In her role, she conducts Medicare Wellness Visits for several of the organization’s 16 clinics. These annual visits allow a primary care provider to take a “deep dive” into a patient medical history and discover gaps in care, to address them to give patients the best possible healthcare.  It also gives an opportunity to discuss the benefits of good nutrition and an active lifestyle to achieve better health outcomes in a way that does not always occur in the typical visit.  In 2020, she became one of four certified CPR instructors to ensure that all employees of the FQHC receive timely training in the performance of high-quality CPR and AED usage.  She became a member of the multi-disciplinary COVID vaccine team in Halifax County which vaccinated thousands when vaccines first became available in the area.
