NCBC is proud to announce this year's Natosha Lynne Morton Memorial Scholarship Winner - Stacy Jordan
Stacy Jordan is married to husband Paul; they have 3 children and 2 grandchildren. She began her career in Medical Imaging field in 1992, and then specialized in
Mammography in 1998. Stacy has been employed at Orange Park Medical Center for the last 16 years, currently as the Outpatient Imaging Supervisor/Breast Imaging Navigator. She is currently working to obtain her Bachelors of Healthcare Administration. Besides work and family she is very active in her church and with the American Cancer Society. For the past 10 years she volunteered with the ACS in multiple positions with Relay for Life, Volunteer Leadership Council, Making Strides against Breast Cancer and State advisory teams.
In the letters submitted by her superiors and patients all explained how passionate she is with her job and routinely exceeding expectations. Stacy has held various leadership roles from event chair to operations chair among many others for the Making Strides against Breast Cancer of Orange Park for the American Cancer Society, she has been a true leader for over 10 years. Stacy has over 20 years of experience and has used her knowledge to mentor new faculty members as well as learn from them as her role continued to expand.
One of the questions we asked was what are future plans or goals, her response was "Breast health awareness and education is important, even though breast cancer receives a lot of attention many women are still misinformed, in order to continue providing education to the community she works at health fairs using teaching tools (breast models with lumps) and provides lectures at various events within her community. Involvement with local non-profits, like Making Strides against Breast Cancer
and her local Pink Ribbon Symposium, are all platforms for her to meet women individually and discuss mammography and breast Imaging. While these resources have been successful in the past she is always looking for new ways to raise
awareness and develop the program."
Her future plans range from hosting October Open House at her facility and Marketing her department to provide a monthly bulletin regarding breast health for their employees and physicians along with using social media for marketing. She plans on continuing to expand and strengthen her organizations relationship with the ACS.
Stacy said, "I believe in their mission and hope one day to put myself out of a job because A CURE FOR CANCER IS FOUND!
I am very excited about my opportunity to attend the 26
th
Annual Breast Cancer Conference and learn new information to share with our team and apply to our program."
Stacy was among a group of highly qualified candidates who submitted not only an application highlighting their service in breast care, but also provided us with a minimum of two letters of recommendation from co-workers/supervisors and patients or community members.
