Population Health Pioneer Award for Practice Manager Leader by Caravan Health will be awarded to Brooke Eaves.
This award recognizes her efforts to lead caregivers in helping patients live better lives. The award is based on peer nominations within the ACO program.
Caravan Health said the award is an acknowledgement of the hard work necessary to succeed in the always-changing environment of modern health care.
Eaves will be formally presented the award via Caravan Health at the Accountable Care Symposium in Scottsdale, AZ, December 11-12, 2019.
Population Health programs are important, especially in rural areas because the focus of health care is changing.
Eaves brings twenty years of healthcare experience as an ASHA Clinically Certified Speech-Language Pathologist, Graduate Supervisor, and Rehabilitation Department Co-Director. Brooke graduated from Mississippi University for Women in 1999 with an undergraduate degree, as well as a Master’s Degree, in Speech-Language Pathology with a minor in Psychology.
In February 2016, Brooke, along with two colleagues, was awarded the American Physical Therapy Association: Geriatric Division National Award for their Safe and Sound program. Safe and Sound is designed to give Long Term Care Residents cognitive, sensory, social and emotional, behavioral, and physical stimulation through a schedule of planned daily activities. After such success, Safe and Sound was appropriately modified for hospital patients to enjoy as well.
As a Certified Riding Instructor, Brooke is a member of the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemen (PATH). Therapies utilize Equine Therapeutic Riding Techniques and Hippotherapy, along with Speech and Language Techniques, to improve and enhance the physical and communicative skills of participants.
Currently, Brooke serves as the Clinic Administrator of Louisville Medical Clinic; a Rural Health Clinic owned and operated by Choctaw Regional Medical Center. Since March of 2017, Brooke has led the development and implementation of innovative processes to improve clinic efficiencies and quality through preventative patient care; and to overcome barriers in the treatment and management of patients currently diagnosed with chronic conditions, improving quality of life.
Community outreach, mentorship, and education, including Industrial and Occupational Health and mentoring students within the local school-based Allied Health program, are just a few of Brooke’s passions.
She is an active member of the community and is President-Elect of Rotary Club of Louisville, Rotary District 6820. Brooke resides in Louisville, Mississippi, with her husband Ryan and their two children, Branson, 20, a US Army Combat Medic and full time college student; and Anna Rose, 13, an eighth grader at Winston Academy.
