The United Way comments, "Joy has been an inspiring leader at OhioHealth since 2003. Most recently holding the position of Chief Nursing Officer at Marion General and Hardin Memorial Hospitals. During those years as a clinical leader, she gained knowledge and a passion for hospital operations which ultimately led her to a promotion in 2021 to president of Hardin Memorial Hospital.

"As a native Hardin County resident, Joy takes pride in serving the community she grew up. Her primary focus is to keep care local and to leverage the excellent quality of care of being a part of a more extensive healthcare system. Her knowledge of the community has given her great insight into understanding the health of a rural community and the vital part the hospital plays in economic growth.
