Special thanks to Shelby (SHE) Associate Director Amber Mitchell and Clinical Manager Vickie Deyton for representing BAYADA at the annual legislative breakfast in Shelby.  Community leaders received an update from the General Assembly; Speaker Tim Moore and Representative Kelly Hastings.  Amber is a familiar face at these legislative events and over the years has built a great relationship with Cleveland County lawmakers. In fact, when they approached for a photo, Rep. Hastings called out, “I’ve got to get on your schedule to do a home visit.”  Attending these community events not only builds awareness of the importance of home health care, but also increases our BAYADA visibility in the community.
