Yeatman was selected in part for some of the innovative programs that she and her Vanderbilt LifeFlight team have put into place recently to break down barriers between health care providers. One such program, iFly, allows paramedics, emergency physicians and nurses to learn more about care delivery by accompanying the patient from the scene back to Vanderbilt.
“We are extremely honored that Jeanne has been recognized for her insight and creative approach to problem solving,” said Brent Lemonds, M.S., R.N., administrative director of Emergency Services for Vanderbilt. “She is a fantastic leader and Vanderbilt is fortunate to have her leading such a vital part of our organization.”
Yeatman oversees a staff of more than 150 professionals and five divisions, which include a wide range of emergency transportation services including helicopter, airplane, ground ambulance, Event Medicine and Communications.
