Nancy Dutton Here!

Hello…Nancy Dutton here!

I am a CSR at the Franklin branch in the Williamson Medical Center. I am into my 4th year at TLC Medical! I absolutely LOVE working with all the patients that call or come through here. Nothing is more rewarding than assisting the people that truly need your help.

I’m originally a Chicago girl who took a job promotion relocating me to Orange County, California. I was the Regional Manager for a national distribution company. While there, I unknowingly hired my best friend and soul mate for life, Randy.


Several years later, another job transfer moved us here to Tennessee. We have lived in Franklin for more than 13 years now. We have a wonderful son, Steven. He is 27, a bartender, and an accomplished artist living in Nashville. He has had more than a dozen art shows featured in Nashville, Chicago, and Dallas.



Randy and I share a 30 year history together. We love to travel and usually ‘get away’ a couple of times per year to somewhere tropical. In fact, this week we’re heading off to the Florida Keys for a lot of aqua blue water, sun, palm trees, and relaxation! YIPPEE!!

One of my passions is graphic arts and design, which was a position I held for a group of Nashville Radio stations for three years prior to coming to TLC. In my spare time, I love to read stories and books about Angels.

“May there be a miracle in your life today & may you have the eyes to see it”

J Murray

I’m Jennifer Murray and I have been in the DME business for 10 years with the last 2 of them being spent here at TLC. I am currently working on getting all the MED patients billing in Brightree. It has certainly been a challenge but I feel like I’ve learned so much.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my awesome family (that’s my kiddos in the picture.) I met my husband, Dennie, during my senior year of high school at a grocery store of all places. We married just 4 months after I graduated and we quickly started our family. We live in Franklin, KY with our son, Ty (10) and daughter, Mallory (7). Ty loves playing baseball and his daddy loves coaching so we spend our entire spring and summer traveling around from one baseball park to another. He is an awesome second baseman and is now learning to pitch. We are trying to get him to play football this year but aren’t having much luck with that one. Mallory thinks she has to be involved in everything that is going on but her favorite is cheerleading and gymnastics. She is in her 4th year of All Star Cheerleading and I can see that she has many more to come. At the present time, she is getting ready for school which she absolutely loves. I’m pretty sure it is just to get back to her social life (I have no idea where she gets that from.)

As a family, we enjoy watching TV together, going to the drive in for a movie, swimming and playing golf (I’m learning.) Now I have to find time to start training for that big 5K. I can’t let the cleaning guy (Tom) make me look bad!

TEAM TLC ..... RACE FOR THE CURE

Hi everyone!

I was asked to send out an email encouraging you all to sign up for RACE FOR THE CURE! J I have participated in the Race for the Cure for a few years at UT in Knoxville and wanted to continue here in Nashville. So, I created a team, TEAM TLC, if anyone is interested in joining!

About the Race for the Cure® The Komen Nashville Race for the Cure raises significant funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer, celebrates breast cancer survivorship, and honors those who have lost their battle with the disease.

The event will be held on Saturday, October 4, 2008 @ Downtown Nashville in Riverfront Park.

Why should you get involved? Over 211,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and nearly 40,000 will die this year. Susan G. Komen for the Cure is working to reduce those numbers both locally and globally and to make a difference in the lives of the women, and men, behind the numbers. Until there's a cure, we RACE!

The event is a 5k (about 3.1 miles) and by no means do you have to RUN it. It is completely acceptable to WALK!! I have always walked in the past. The event is in the morning and won’t take up your whole day!

There is a $30 registration fee. However, you receive a T-shirt and Race bib along with access to Race Day Events (live music, local business tents, etc). In Knoxville, there has always been free food and goodies before and after the Race. AND, the $30 is TAX DEDUCTIBLE J

You aren’t required to raise any money however; it would be awesome if you did!!

This team isn’t limited to just TLC employees. PLEASE feel free to invite your family and friends to join our team! Kids, too! (All children under age 14 must be accompanied by an adult).

Okay, so now, HOW TO REGISTER/JOIN THE TEAM:
1. Click this link http://komennashville.kintera.org/faf/home/waiver.asp
2. Click the “I agree” for Photographic Release form
3. Click Join a Team
4. A drop box will appear, find Team TLC and click CONTINUE.
5. Fill in your personal information and create a username (this is so you can track how much money you have raised, or send emails to family and friends to ask them to join)
6. Select the type of participant you wish to be (most will be a General Participant, but feel free to select another one)
7. Select your shirt size and if you wish to donate more than the $30 fee.
8. Click continue.
9. Fill out your credit card information
10. That’s as far as I can take you without registering again…you’ll have to do the rest on your own…

A page will be created just for YOU. But also, I have created a page for the Team. Visit: http://komennashville.kintera.org/faf/login/teamPageEdit.asp?ievent=277613&lis=0&kntae277613=06228A0B89A648628F931235E9A2F8F5&page=view to see who all has joined the team and how much $$ has been raised.

We get a shirt for the Race, like I mentioned, but I am going to try to get shirts made that say TEAM TLC or something fun. Let me know if you have any suggestions!

I really hope this email didn’t bore you to death, but I’d love to see a big group participate! It’s fun and for a great cause. You’d be surprised by how many people you know that have been affected by breast cancer.

Please watch this song/video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgiwrvEX8wY it’s called I RUN FOR LIFE. It’s awesome.

Let me know if you have any questions at all!!

Thanks,
Teresa cell--504.5422 tparr@tlcmedical.cc or 790.1556 x270

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. -- Phil. 4:13

Hayley with a Y

For those of you that have been spelling my name wrong for the past 2 1/2 years, I ain't mad at cha, but now you know ;) Well, my name is Hayley Thornhill. I am the CSR at the Smyrna office, but will soon be moving to the Nashville office. I have been with TLC Medical for 2 1/2 years. I started at the Franklin office and I moved to the Smyrna office when it opened in July of 2006. I love what I do, I love the people I work with, and I love the people I work for. There is never a boring day around here, that is for sure. I am married to Jason (the Tech) and have been for a little over 2 years. We do not have any kids yet, but I'm working on that (just don't tell Jason, haha). We do have a 3 yr old Rottweiler named Obi [Wan Kenobi]. I grew up in Nolensville, TN, but I now live in Antioch. I graduated from Brentwood High School in 1999, yes, that means I will be attending my 10 year reunion next year, yikes! After high school, I attended Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville, where I majored more in socializing than my technical major which was Nursing ;) After messing around for 4 years, I took a "semester" off to get my priorities in order and during that time I met Jason. So needless to say, I did not go back, but I would like to one day. Over the past year or so, my relationship with Christ has grown enormously. It is so amazing how God just forgives and forgets, and how He is constantly chasing after us, no matter how far away we run. If you do not know how awesome Christ is, please ask me, I would love to tell you the amazing things He has done in my life. I have been working with the youth at my church for the past year, which has been amazing. We attended camp this summer, and it was there that I began to feel the calling to ministry. I haven't quite figured it all out just yet, or maybe God hasn't exposed the whole plan to me yet, but I know that He wants me in some sort of Women's and Young women's ministry. It is amazing and scary to feel such a calling, so please pray for me as God begins to reveal His plan to me. I want to leave you with a poem that pretty much sums me up (or any Christian for that matter). If there is anything else you want to know, just ask, I am an open book.

When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not shouting, "I've been saved!"
I'm whispering, "I get lost! That's why I chose this way"
When I say, "I am a Christian," I don't speak with human pride
I'm confessing that I stumble-needing God to be my guide
When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not trying to be strong
I'm professing that I'm weak and pray for strength to carry on
When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not bragging of success
I'm admitting that I've failed and cannot ever pay the debt
When I say, "I am a Christian," I don't think I know it all
I submit to my confusion asking humbly to be taught
When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not claiming to be perfect
My flaws are far too visible but God believes I'm worth it
When I say, "I am a Christian," I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartache which is why I seek His name
When I say, "I am a Christian," I do not wish to judge
I have no authority--I only know I'm loved
