For the three years that she has worked as a physician assistant (PA) at an ApolloMD partner hospital in rural North Carolina, Noelle Griffin has focused on key aspects of her career:
● Taking excellent care of the patients who visit the emergency room
● Taking advantage of ApolloMD-offered education and training opportunities to learn, sharpen, and leverage new skills — especially for treatments or procedures that are not common or available at her community hospital
● Focusing on a leadership position at ApolloMD

ApolloMD has created the position of Patient Experience (PX) Coordinator in select partner hospital EDs to turn those stressful, difficult ED patient experiences into tolerable, manageable. and even pleasant encounters. The PX Coordinator serves as a liaison between the health care professionals who provide emergency care and the often anxious, injured, or stressed patients in the treatment and waiting rooms

For treatments ranging from a simple suture to a complicated surgical abdomen, every patient wants to receive care from a competent, confident, self-assured health care professional. Those key factors – competence, confidence, and self-assurance – lie at the heart of ApolloMD’s award-winning Advanced Practice Clinician (APC) Advancement Program.

Our robust ApolloMD growth calls for the extension of clinical leadership roles to champion our dynamic teams. To answer that call, we introduce a team of Regional Vice Presidents that are clinical leaders managing a roster of facilities while supporting company operations in other areas. These leaders will work closely with the Regional and Divisional Presidents, and the operations support assigned to the geographic region.

The 2022 ApolloMD Leadership Conference focuses on the theme of “High Performance Leadership” and includes for the first time a full day of complementary CME sessions arranged for and sponsored by ApolloMD.
