The Nurse Who Makes It Work in Byron
Amerita
As we celebrate Nurses Week and Nurses Month, we want to highlight Amerita Registered Nurse Tabatha Price has been Working Smart and Doing Good in Byron, GA. Named the Amerita Rising Star Award recipient, Tabatha exemplifies BrightSpring’s LEGACY value of Communication, seen in the way she keeps patients, care teams, and partners connected through proactive, precise, and genuinely reliable coordination — every single day.
Tabatha joined the Amerita team with no prior home health experience and wasted no time. She mastered required clinical competencies ahead of schedule, took on training responsibilities for incoming nurses, and was recently accepted into the preceptorship program — a trajectory that reflects both her clinical readiness and the trust her team has placed in her. New nurses who shadow Tabatha describe feeling supported and confident in their transition, a direct result of the hands-on, clear guidance she brings to every mentoring interaction. In a field where nurse retention matters enormously, that kind of influence has a long reach.
None of it happens without communication. When labs need to be collected within required timeframes and standard pathways hit a barrier, Tabatha problem-solves — she has built working relationships with local hospitals willing to process labs for her patients, ensuring accurate results and uninterrupted care. When patient status changes, scheduling shifts, or care needs evolve, her team hears about it promptly and clearly. When a patient in a distant location needs a last-minute visit, she picks up the case and makes sure nothing falls through the cracks. Patients have felt that attentiveness consistently, and their feedback reflects it.
Congratulations, Tabatha. Your commitment to Communication — precise, proactive, and always centered on the people in your care — keeps your team connected and your patients supported. Because of the standard you set as a nurse, a trainer, and a colleague, the communities you serve have access to the high-quality, continuous care they deserve.
Work Smart. Do Good.
