April Hampton-Brown
At an early age, April knew that caring for people would be her calling. At the age of fifteen she spent her summer working two jobs one at the local McDonald’s and one through the school system. The name of the program through her school system was Random Acts of Kindness. April was given the assignment of supervisor. Soon after the supervisor assignment through her school system, she was promoted to junior supervisor at McDonald’s. Although April did not realize this at the time she was operating as a leader among her peers. At the age of eighteen she started working in the dietary department of an Assisted Living Facility. She then moved on to working with those with developmental disabilities.
Shortly after working with those with developmental disabilities she completed the Certified Nursing Assistant Program. Two years passed before she decided to pursue her career in nursing. April received a Diploma in Nursing and worked as a Licensed Practical Nurse several years with a focus on long-term care and short-term rehab. Furthering her education, April returned to Gardner Webb University, Hunt School of Nursing in which she completed her Associate of Science Degree in Nursing; later completing a Bachelors of Science Degree through Western Carolina University. April is dually licensed as a South Carolina Nursing Home Administrator and Community Residential Care Facility Administrator. She is a member of the National Alliance of Certified Legal Nurse Consultants.
Long term care and short-term rehab are areas that April has worked closely with throughout her career. Her work ethic revolves around the quality assurance performance improvement approach. She has experience in nurse management and leadership. She is unique in the fact that she worked her way up through the long-term care industry. She served a Director of Nursing for several years then transitioned to the role of directing clinical and operations. Projects such as South Carolina’s Initiative to Improve Dementia Care and Eliminate Off-Label Antipsychotics is one of many that April participated in.
