A supervisor of Lee Anne's has stated "Lee Anne continually astonishes me with the breadth and scope of her leadership and administrative ability. Lee Anne focuses on outcomes and has led her groups to outstanding results. She successfully balances budgetary concerns without ever compromising patient safety or quality. She is creative in her approach, working through others, mentoring, developing and encouraging staff to be the best that they can be. She is a role model for business acumen, effectively partnering with physicians to develop and grow service lines, while never losing sight(nor allowing others to lose sight) of the primary purpose behind the service growth: providing excellent care to mothers and children in the community.
