Ms. Adams received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Lipscomb University in Nashville, Tennessee with a double major in Business Management and Marketing and later her Master of Business Administration with a concentration in healthcare management for the same university.

Ms. Adams’ healthcare experience began as director of physician outreach and market development at Tennova Healthcare Harton in Tullahoma. During this time her duties included but were not limited to recruiting, retention, acquisition, physician education, and practice management. Ms. Adams led the rollout of electronic medical records for physician, she created a physician leadership council, and collaborated on a hospital presentation that was utilized by the hospital parent company.

Ms. Adams’ physician outreach role led to her being named assistant administrator with many additional responsibilities.
