ACV Health Services Staffing Update

Are you gearing up for those New Year resolutions, goals, or health transitions? You might find yourself looking for a primary physician to receive routine care. 

Copeland Medical Center (CMC) has a few new faces that complete a team of providers, along with a familiar face, ACV Vice President for Health Services, Keri Hilliard. Keri’s office is now at CMC, as she transitions from the Nursing Home Administrator role and focuses on serving more as a hands-on director of CMC with leadership responsibilities for ACV’s health services as a whole. Along with Copeland Medical Center, Keri is overseeing ACV Home Health, Dacier Manor, and Good Samaritan Center.

As always, the care and well-being of our members and patients are of the utmost importance and we are excited to announce three new team members at Copeland Clinic: Medical Director, Diane Dodgen, MD, and Nurse Practitioners Kimberly Pierce, APRN, and Jillian Bowden, APRN.
