Winston Medical Center Welcomes Lindsey Carter, OT

We are happy to announce the hiring of our new, full-time Occupational Therapist, Lindsey Carter, OT. She serves at Winston Medical Center.

Lindsey received her Associate of Science from East Central Community College and her Master of Occupational Therapy from the University of Mississippi Medical Center. In addition, Lindsey is LSVT Big certified and selected as an ASD delegate in graduate school. Within her discipline, she is especially interested in working with patients with Parkinson’s using LSVT Big certification.

Lindsey chose to pursue occupational therapy after her uncle was in an accident while working for the railroad when a tree fell on him. She saw how the OT worked with her uncle each day and helped him begin to enjoy again the things he once was able to do. His story inspired Lindsey to help others gain independence in their everyday life.

Lindsey is married to John Mark Carter, and they have two children, Kennedy (4) and John Reece (5 months), and they have a dog named Gumbo. The family enjoys being outside, riding the golf cart around their property, fishing, and gardening during the summer.

We are excited to have Lindsey as a partner in our company. We look forward to many opportunities for her to progress in her new role. We know she will have opportunities to improve our company and the lives of patients at Winston Medical Center.

We Are Proud To Announce A New Partnership With Winston Medical Center

I want to share some exciting news. Effective May 1, 2024, we will be entering into a strategic therapy management partnership with Winston Medical Center and nursing home. This partnership has been a long time in the making, and it fills me with gratitude and joy to see it finally coming to fruition.

Throughout the past year, we have encountered numerous barriers and faced many challenges during this transitional process. It required immense sacrifices, hardships, and unwavering dedication from so many individuals involved. But through it all, we have been guided and blessed by God's hand. I want to extend my personal gratitude to Mark, JR, Melanie Kirk, PT, DOR at Winston Medical Center and Nursing Home, Hanna Bostick, our DOR Noxubee General Hospital, and the therapy teams at Noxubee and Winston for their tireless efforts in making this partnership possible. The sacrifices they have made are truly humbling, and I am immensely grateful.

I also want to express my appreciation to Mr. Michael Nester and his leadership for their hard work and commitment to excellence. Our partnership with Winston Medical Center and Nursing Home will not only foster growth and innovation but also provide us with opportunities to support and diversify our services. I had the privilege of working with Mr. Nester in the past, and his forward-thinking approach is truly admirable.

As we move forward with this new partnership, I am filled with excitement and anticipation. I had the opportunity to meet the therapy team firsthand at the location, and they left a lasting impression on me. Their dedication to providing outstanding patient care is evident, and their values align perfectly with our company's vision and beliefs. I consider it a blessing that God has bestowed upon us this partnership, and I eagerly look forward to serving the therapy team, the hospital, the nursing home, and the community of Louisville.
