Dear Friends of NeighborHealth,

What a year this has been for all of us! As of today, NeighborHealth staff and volunteers have administered over 6,500 COVID 19 tests and over 14,200 vaccines! We have partnered with churches and other community organizations to provide testing and vaccines to our broader community and have been strategic in our efforts to reach the most vulnerable. Our work continues and we are grateful for the opportunity to touch so many people.

Our health center continues to grow, reaching more families in need and providing high quality primary care and prenatal service to our neighbors.

It has been an honor and a privilege for me to serve as the founding CEO of NeighborHealth. I have been amazed to see how God has provided for our needs and given us direction. We have a wonderful team of staff and providers.

I will be transitioning out of my role as CEO on July 2. It was a tough decision, but I know that it is both the right time for me to retire and for NeighborHealth to bring in a new leader. Our board of directors has appointed Larry Chewning as interim CEO while engaging in a thorough recruitment process for our permanent CEO. Larry has decades of healthcare leadership and will provide strong support during this transition.

Please pray for NeighborHealth that God would bring just the right leader for the future.

May God be glorified in all that we do!

With a grateful heart,
Sue Ellen Thompson, CEO
