PARIS, TN – Henry County Medical Center is proud to announce the Partner of the Month for October in the Stars of Excellence program is Shannon Head, RN with Hospice at HCMC Home Health and Hospice. Nine others were also nominated for the Stars of Excellence program.

Head was nominated by a patient’s family for going above and beyond her job duties, supporting the patient and family during a very difficult time. She walked the family through hospice care and what to expect when the patient passed. She answered questions and was available day and night for the family. She took the time to listen to the patient and the family and treated them with true respect and was their “ministering angel.”

Kim Calhoun, Imaging: Nominated by a patient for the care she gave to the patient during and after the ultrasound, helping her to get a bill paid and respecting her health issues.
