Courtney Mead, RVNA Care Coordination team member
Although Courtney Mead has only been with RVNA clinical care coordination just short of a year, it’s difficult to recall a time when she was not a part of the team. With a personal focus on helping others, this role was the perfect fit for Courtney right from the start. She listens to patients’ concerns, gathers important clinical information, and discusses the services they may need.
When Courtney is not at work, this active go-getter makes it a point of staying active and surrounding herself with family and friends…with a healthy amount of downtime. Add in a daily dose of laughter with colleagues…and it all adds up to a healthy lifestyle.
Take a moment to meet…Courtney Mead.
