Everyone... Meet Lela!
Lela joined our team in August 2019 and is part of the front desk crew. She’ll be the friendly face greeting you with a smile when you check in or check out!
Here’s a bit about Lela in her own words:
Although we moved around a lot before I was in first grade, I have called Knoxville my home for over 44 years. I attended North Star Elementary in 1st grade, East in 3rd, and the rest of my education was at Knoxville Regular Baptist School.
I enjoy baking (which is apparent!), reading, and watching movies. My favorite time of year is Countdown to Christmas on the Hallmark channel.
My husband and I have been married for 23 years (although we both jokingly say it feels like 75–100). Both of our immediate families live in the area or close by, which is very helpful for holidays and get-togethers. I love our annual Girls’ Day with my sisters, sister-in-law, mother, and nieces—there never seems to be enough time in the day to do or talk about everything we want!
I began working here at the end of August and am in the Patient Care area, so I’ll see you when you check in or as you check out. Bear with me as I learn names and faces—I look forward to assisting you when you come in or if you call the office!
