Beverly (Bev) joined UVA Health in 2011, bringing with her over 25 years of experience across the continuum of healthcare. She initially served as a Case Manager at the Transitional Care Hospital (TCH) – a Long-Term Acute Care Hospital (LTACH). Soon after, she took on the role of Director of Case Management, where she built and led a team responsible for marketing, admissions, and discharge planning. After the LTACH closed, Bev continued to leverage her community expertise and case management skills in the Post-Acute Department and Patient Progression Coalition.

Through her work with the Patient Progression Coalition, Bev introduced the idea for the Transitions of Care program, which ensures that UVA Health patients discharged to select Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) are followed for thirty days. Drawing on her extensive experience in local nursing facilities, Bev was able to observe and assist patients during their transitions from home to nursing care or assisted living. Additionally, Bev served as an administrator for one of the community’s Assisted Living Facilities, where she worked closely with patients and their families as they navigated these significant life changes.

Bev earned her Master of Science in Healthcare Administration in 2018 and Lean Management Certification in 2024.

Bev has a deep connection with UVA Health, which has been a part of her life from the very beginning. It cared for her at birth, as well as for her three children and three of her grandchildren. For generations, UVA Health has been her family’s trusted choice for healthcare. It’s more than just a place to her; it's her passion and remains close to her heart.
