“The impact of her entrepreneurial leadership and vision for northeast Georgia cannot be overstated. Leading an organization during a pandemic is hard enough for any CEO. Leading a hospital system during an unprecedented world-wide and seemingly unending pandemic is exponentially more difficult – some say even impossible. Carol has made the impossible possible.” 19
