We are thrilled to announce the addition of our newest team member, Jamie Patton, who has joined Accolade Healthcare of Pontiac as our new Administrator. Jamie’s journey in healthcare began in 2001 as a Respiratory Therapist. Over the following years, she earned her bachelor’s degree in health studies and a Master of Arts in Gerontology, which led her to serve as a respiratory consultant for numerous nursing homes. For over 18 years, she has held administrator licenses in both Illinois and Indiana. 

 Throughout her career, Jamie has overseen various specialties, including general long-term care, rehab to home, geriatric psychiatry, and dementia units. However, she takes the most pride in establishing high-acuity pulmonary and cardiac transitional care units to provide local support for those in need. 

 Recently relocating to Paxton, Jamie enjoys spending her free time with her partner, Matthew, as they cheer on their children, Kobe, Kade, and Nautica, in their various activities. This often involves supporting the Iroquois West Raiders and the Parkland Cobras baseball team! 

Please help us in welcoming Jamie to our community. We are eager to witness the positive impact she will undoubtedly bring, and we look forward to collaborating with her to continue delivering exceptional care to our residents.
