Having a degree
in Art, I never expected to end up spending my professional life
in Pediatric Practice Management. In 1985, after being a
“stay-at-home-mom” for several years I decided to enter the
workforce and took a front desk receptionist position at my
children’s pediatric office….Children’s Medical Group, P.A. in
my hometown of Jackson, MS. After moving thru supervisory
positions, the insurance department and then being placed in the
role of Assistant to the Clinic Administrator, I was asked to
accept the position of Clinic Administrator in 1990. With the
challenges facing a 13 physician pediatric practice, multiple
satellite offices and complicated compliance issues on the
horizon, I decided to pursue obtaining my certification in
Medical Practice Management which I completed in 1997.
God has a way of
letting you know your future is still in HIS hands. After 25
years with the Jackson, MS Police Department my husband
retired. Shortly after his retirement he was offered the
position of bass vocalist with The Stamps Quartet here in
Nashville. After lots of prayer, we decided to leave our
childhood homes and our very large extended families and move to
Nashville. I could not have imagined that Deanna Bell, M.D.
would soon call and ask me to come serve at Mercy as the
Director of Business Operations. I am so pleased and honored to
be using my skills for “God’s business” here at Mercy. It is a
privilege.
I have been
married for 32 years to my high school sweetheart, Butch Owens.
We have two grown children, Ian and Adrianne and 2 precious
grandchildren.
Some of my
hobbies include painting (of course) and faux-finishing.
My favorite
scripture is (1 John 1:9) “If we confess our sins, he is
faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us of all
unrighteousness.” What an awesome God we serve! |
