Nettie Thrash, R.N.
A desire to help others and make a difference has fueled Nettie Thrash’s 30+ years’ experience in nursing and management of multiple health care clinics. At Lenbrook, she leads all areas of Lenbrook’s full continuum of health services: The Clinic, the Assisted Living Center, Lenbrook’s Medicare-certified Health Care Center which includes short-term rehabilitation services, memory care, long-term care and Mender’s by Lenbrook home care services.
Nettie joined Lenbrook in 2003 as a PRN nurse and became full time in 2010 after more than 25 years with Atlanta’s Grady Health System. She helped start, manage and direct a variety of clinics throughout the Grady system including Ambulatory Care and Neighborhood Clinics with multiple departments in each such as Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, OB/GYN, Pediatrics and Urgent Care.
In addition to her registered nursing degree from Excelsior College and licensed practical nursing degree from Atlanta Technical College, Nettie pursued and completed the Gerontology Certification Program at Kennesaw State University. Most recently she earned certification in the Stephen Ministry Program, which she says honed her listening skills and has helped make her a more effective caregiver.
