Admissions DirectorTina started working at Mount Olive Center in 1994, while in nursing school. She soon discovered that her calling was more in the administrative field rather than hands-on clinical care. Tina has held many positions within the center (CNA, medical records assistant, receptionist, accounts payable and social services assistant). For 27 of 32 years, she was the Admissions Director and served as the Senior Admissions Director for five other affiliated centers. In 2022, Tina was promoted to Assistant Administrator, but because of the needs of her family, she decided to step back and accepted the position of Admissions Director in December 2025. Born, raised and living in close proximity to Mount Olive, Tina is always available to assist and comfort those in need and by being a resource for the community.

Positive Outcomes
Patricia S. (patient since January 2020) was recently asked what she liked most about her stay. She replied: "I am thankful for being here and meeting good friends, especially my roommate. I fell and broke my femur and a shoulder. After a few surgeries, I came to Genesis. I've had a lot of prayers from staff, family and friends since I've been here. God has always been looking out for me and placed me here during a tough time in my life. I am thankful for being alive, my family, my friends and all of the progress I have made with the help of this staff!"
Orlando J. has resided at Mount Olive Center since July 2011. He says that "this is his home and we are his family." Orlando says that he is impressed with how staff has handled the "virus problem" and has not felt lonely or isolated in the least. To show his compassion and thankfulness, he decided to donate his entire stimulus check to three different charities, as an anonymous donor. Mr. Orlando J. stated that he wanted "to bless others just like I was blessed".
