Cindy Barnette

Cindy started her career in healthcare right out of high school as a ward secretary, where she found her passion for nursing. Immediately, she started nursing school and obtained her AD at Wytheville Community College, BSN at College of Health Sciences, and then graduated with an MBA at Averett University.

She started her nursing career at Radford Community Hospital, where she worked as an Emergency Room nurse, Clinical team leader, and later became Director of Emergency Services at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital. While she was there, she discovered her love of caring for the elders and quickly transitioned to the post-acute/long-term and never looked back.
