During Healthcare Risk Management Week, we take a moment to recognize the vital work that often happens behind the scenes but has an incredible impact on every patient, every visit, and every outcome.

At SCK Health, we are proud to celebrate Tina Wheeler and the essential role she plays in keeping our organization safe, compliant, and focused on delivering the highest standard of care.

Risk management in healthcare is about more than policies and procedures—it’s about protecting patients, supporting staff, and continuously improving the quality of care our community receives. It ensures that every process is designed with safety, accountability, and excellence in mind.

Tina is an excellent listener, a thoughtful problem solver, and a true asset to SCK Health. Her leadership helps strengthen our commitment to providing safe, high-quality, patient-centered care every day.
