(Georgetown, KY – June 20, 2022) Georgetown Community Hospital, part of the LifePoint Health Central Kentucky market, is happy to announce that Administrative Assistant, Christy Walls, has been named the 2022 Mercy Award winner for always putting the needs of patients first and being an active leader in the Scott County community, all while exemplifying the spirit and values upon which the LifePoint company was founded.

Christy Walls has worked for Georgetown Community Hospital for over 12 years now, continuously going above and beyond for hospital staff and patients.

She is an active supporter of school athletics, with her son and daughter involved in a variety of sports activities over the years. She has also been involved in Scott County Leadership for over 10 years, managing the Healthcare portion of the program at Georgetown Community Hospital each year. She also participates in local chamber events, local fundraisers and Women in Business.

The LifePoint Mercy Award program memorializes the legacy of the late Scott Mercy, LifePoint’s founding chairman and CEO. Each hospital annually selects one local Mercy Award winner who consistently strives to embrace Scott’s caring philosophies and reach the high standards he set for LifePoint. The Mercy Award is the highest honor a LifePoint Health employee can receive.
