Lindsay Patterson, RN, MSN, CMN Director of Quality & Compliance

I am proud to serve as the Director of Quality & Compliance at , where I have the opportunity to support quality patient care, regulatory excellence, and continuous improvement for our community.


My healthcare journey began locally as a Certified Nursing Assistant and Medical Assistant before I became a nurse in 2008. Since then, I have been fortunate to gain experience across many areas of healthcare, including clinic care, home health, hospice and palliative care, inpatient medical-surgical and progressive care nursing, telephonic case management, and healthcare operations leadership for the federal government.


Prior to joining PCH, I worked as a Business Change Manager supporting six medical management teams, focusing on electronic medical record development, government regulatory compliance, and quality improvement initiatives. Those experiences helped shape my passion for improving healthcare systems while keeping patient-centered care at the heart of every decision.


As a working mom, I returned to school to earn my Bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Management, followed by my Master of Science in Nursing, and later obtained my Certified Case Manager (CCM) certification. I strongly believe in lifelong learning and continued professional growth.


I have called Putnam County home for most of my life and feel fortunate to serve the community that has given so much to me and my family. Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my husband and our two daughters. We love being outdoors and spending time camping, boating, hiking, riding side-by-sides, working out, traveling, exploring new places, and finding unique restaurants to try together.
