Billie Lawrence - 3rd Quarter 2020

Administrative Assistant for TGH

“The James C. Kennedy Wellness Center is a beautiful facility, but it is also well-staffed and is much more than a place to go to the “gym”.  The center encompasses outpatient therapy, educational training for diabetes and healthy eating, one on one fitness training, on demand fitness videos, IOP and many other services along with wonderful employees.  Every employee is very knowledge and courteous and you are always greeted when you come in the door.  I am especially thankful to Barbara Green for her encouragement and suggestion that I get a new pair of sneakers as my right leg was causing me problems and I was thinking I would just have to give up.  The Wellness Center is a blessing to TGH employees as well as the community and I am so thankful to be a member.” ~ Billie Lawrence
