The Nurse Navigator
Leah Walton and Hannah Swinney are both Nurse Managers who oversee the entire nursing department. Leah’s focus is on psych, while Hannah’s is on medical. They jointly supervise Lewisburg with Gina Reed.
Meet the Nurse Managers
Leah Walton (left) was the Charge Nurse in psych for almost five years before being promoted to Nurse Manager last November. She moved back to Nashville in 2019 after spending nine years in New York City to help take care of her mom. Leah has also lived in Paris, Los Angeles and Hawaii! Outside of work, she loves spending time with her sister and brother-in-law, walking around Radnor Lake, reading and gardening. You might see her at one of the many local coffee shops around town, having a good laugh with friends!
Hannah Swinney (right) has been with Mercy since August 2018. Before being promoted to Nurse Manager last October, she was the Charge Nurse in Lewisburg. In her new role, she wants to be supportive of everyone and be the kind of manager she’d like to have. Outside of work, Hannah loves to hang out with her husband, Trey, their two kids, Mason, 6, and Coraline, 3, and their two dogs. If you’re in Lewisburg, you might see her in the drive-thru of her favorite restaurant, LawLers Barbecue!

Introducing Medical Records
Evette Hayes and Shanna Alexander handle medical record requests from patients for medical, psych and counseling services. Patients may want access to their records if they transfer providers, move out of the area or for legal reasons. When patients are referred to specialists, those doctors may need access to medical records. They are able to accommodate patients’ needs, whether in person or over the phone.
Day-to-day responsibilities include receiving faxes from different medical offices requesting records and scanning paperwork for the medical and psych departments. Processes can be different, so their day-to-day is always changing. You can find Evette and Shanna up front near the check-in desk, but they are only together on Tuesdays.
Meet the stars of Medical Records
Evette Hayes (right) has been with Mercy for over 20 years. She started as a medical assistant and then worked in the front office before moving to medical records. Outside of work, she loves spending time with her family and grandson and eating out at all kinds of different restaurants. She loves it when patients she’s worked with in the past come in and ask to say hi to her. She thinks Shanna is the best coworker!
Shanna Alexander (left) has been with Mercy for a little over a year. She was a phlebotomist for 17 years at the Cancer Center in Columbia before finding her current position. Outside of work, Shanna loves home decorating and crafting. She used to have a side business where she made t-shirts, door hangers and other signs. If you have questions about Cricut, she is your gal! You can also find her hanging out with her family at local Mexican restaurants.
