PCH Welcomes new Director of Nutrition and Food Services
and Executive Chef – Both Employees of Morrison
Lee Morelock, C.D.M., C.F.P.P., grew up in Talbott, a small
town outside of Knoxville, Tennessee, and is a graduate of the
University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
He is employed by Morrison Healthcare Food Services/
Compass Group. Morrison originated as a medical food service
company in the 1920s. The company later branched out into
other areas including Morrison’s Cafeterias and Ruby Tuesday
restaurants. They eventually made the decision to sell off those
entities, get back to their roots, and focus solely on healthcare.
Morrison was acquired by the Compass Group, one of the
world’s largest management groups, around 2000.
Lee has been with Morrison since October, 2010. Prior to that,
he spent 20 years managing food service for colleges and
universities. For 14 of those years, he was with Aramark Food
Service. Prior to joining Princeton Community Hospital, Lee
worked at the University of Tennessee Medical Center, where
the average daily feeding census was 520.
“I am very excited about the move to PCH,” Lee stated. “We
are getting ready to roll out new menus for both the cafe and
for our patients. The menu will include local favorites as well
as a variety of new items. We are also pleased to welcome a
new executive chef, John Evans, to the nutrition staff.
Lee Morelock, C.D.M., C.F.P.P.
“Not only do we rely on the expertise of Morrison’s culinary team for menu development, we also had an
executive chef from Charleston come down for consultation. Instead of recreating the wheel, we wanted to know
what is working well in Charleston area hospitals – what menu items are most loved there by patients and visitors.
We will incorporate some of that information into our menu here. Additionally, we will listen to the hospital
employees and patients to include their favorite foods. We also want to feature healthier options.
“Ultimately, the focus will be on the food –
taste, presentation, and nutrition.
Princeton Community Hospital enjoys
a reputation for providing the
highest quality of healthcare in the
region. We want that same
attitude to carry through to our
nutrition services. My ultimate
goal is to make Mountain
Thyme
Cafe
a
culinary
destination for people in the area
- not just for those who are here
to visit patients. It is my belief that
our cafe can become the best
restaurant in town.

“For our patients, I want the nutrition staff to practice what I call “lowtech, high-touch.” I want our nutrition folks to get to know our
patients and establish positive relationships. We will also focus on the
menu and the presentation. When we sit that meal in front of the
patient and remove the lid, I want them to think they are in a five-star
restaurant. The food should be garnished and presented with great
eye appeal. And when they take the first bite, I want them to think
there is no way this is hospital food,” Lee continued.
Once the renovations are complete in Parkview, the kiosk will
reopen there with new menu items, gourmet coffees, and other
beverage options. Also, Nutrition Services plans to eventually
offer more catering services for internal as well as external
events.
Lee and his wife Kristi just celebrated their 17th wedding
anniversary. Kristi is a first grade teacher at Princeton Primary.
They have two sons ages 9 and 4.

Louisiana. He did his undergraduate work and graduate
studies (Masters in Experimental Psychology) at the University
of Louisiana – Lafayette.

in Taiwan for one year. From there, he enrolled in medical
school at Medical University of the Americas, Nevis, British

Joseph C. Guthrie, M.D.
“I was drawn to The Behavioral Health Pavilion of the
Virginias because of Princeton Community Hospital’s
commitment to building the program here. The hospital
recognized the great need and is investing in mental health
services in the community in a meaningful way,” said Dr.
Guthrie. “I’m greatly impressed not only by the program here,
but also by the facility. The building is well-designed and
situated in a beautiful environment. You’ve got senior care,
adult inpatients, psychiatric ICU, and outpatients all within the
one building.”
Dr. Guthrie is certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and the American Board of Medical
Specialists. He is accepting patients 18 years of age and older. For an appointment or for additional information,
please call The Behavioral Health Pavilion of the Virginias at 304.327.9205.
Dr. Guthrie enjoys outdoor activities including boating, hunting, and fishing, and was attracted to southern West
Virginia because of all that the area has to offer. Dr. Guthrie and his wife have two children.
Letter of Appreciation
I want to thank each and every one of you for all that you have done for us through the difficult time of losing our little
boy. From the donations, cards, phone calls, messages, flowers, and prayers that you all sent our way, we are deeply
grateful. You all have been so kind and generous to us. This has been the most difficult thing we have had to endure. I
want to thank you for helping us get through this difficult time. I greatly appreciate you so very much. I want you to
continue to pray for us because we are still facing difficult times.
Anytime you think of us or Landon, please say a prayer for us because we need them to help us get through the day.
Most Sincerely,
Ashley Dowell and Family

PCH and Mercer Medical Group Salute Ashley Madison
Congratulations to Ashley Madison who recently passed the
National Pharmacy Technician Certification exam.
Ashley was first employed by Princeton Community
Hospital as a phlebotomist in 2008, while completing her
medical assistant degree from National College in Princeton.
After working in the lab the first year, Ashley moved to
Mercer Medical Group where she serves as a medical assistant.
While Ashley primarily assists Dr. Amanda Bailey, she works
with all of the MMG providers as needed. Her degree allows
her the flexibility of assisting the providers, working in the
MMG lab, and, at times, manning the front desk.
Ashley is originally from Bluefield, West Virginia. She
attended Bluefield High School and Graham before going to
National College where she earned a two-year associates
degree in Medical Assistant and a one-year associates degree
in Pharmacy Tech. Ashley had to delay the completion of the
Pharmacy Technician Certification because of illness, but
later worked evenings and weekends (after her shifts with
MMG) in order to fulfill the 120 hours required to earn the
degree. She recently completed her externship in the
pharmacy with Susan Drady.
“I love working at MMG,” Ashley commented. “It has been a
great learning experience for me. There is never a day that I
don’t learn something new. We are seeing a significant
Ashley Madison
increase in the number of patients at MMG, and are already
accepting new patients for Dr. Talug even though he will not be there full-time until mid-September. I will not be
working directly with Dr. Talug, but do have a background in urology. When I first came to MMG, I assisted Dr.
Bhasker Pujari in the office and Dr. Kalid Rana with nerve studies.”
“I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Ashley,” said Dr. Amanda Bailey. “She is highly professional, selfmotivated, friendly with patients, and is a very hard worker. MMG is fortunate to have her.”
Letters of Appreciation
Dear PCH,
I would like to take this opportunity to tell you about my stay at PCH during the first part of June 2013. Janet Shrewsbury
and her nursing staff were great. They went above and beyond their duties to ensure that I was well taken care of. I
appreciate all that they do.
Sincerely,
A. R. “Jill” Dishner
Dear PCH,
I was in the emergency room recently and wanted to tell you about the excellent service that I received. There could not be
a better staff of nurses or doctors.
Thank you,
Mary Griffis

to Celebrate Successful Conclusion of the Course
From left to right: Brooke Miller, Brittany Addair, Megan Snow, Ashleigh Lilly, Sara Weber, Lori Slone, Marissa McGuire, Cody Bragg, Joanna
Bailey, Traci Wills, and Chelsea Vaught. Not pictured: Julie Lombardo and Jessica Altizer.
The Nurse Extern Summer Program is
held annually when it is financially
feasible. This summer, ten full-time
equivalent positions were approved
with a total of 13 participents in the
program.
Nurse Externs are nursing students
who have completed their first year of
training (two semesters) and will be
starting their second year in the fall.
Contributed photo.
The program benefits the Nurse
Externs in learning more about bedside
patient care and the nursing process,
and benefits Princeton Community
Hospital by promoting the nursing
departments here and by creating a
positive impression and an interest in
the facility when the nursing student
becomes a graduate nurse.

you do. And to the entire 3-West Staff – You all are so kind, loving, and caring. Thank you all for taking such great care of
my mom. I rate this hospital the greatest! Again, thank you all and God bless you.
Thanks so much,

Dear PCH,
I was seen recently in the Fast Track/ER by Lynda Tyree, PAC. I came in with an awful migraine and Lynda was so kind,
professional, caring, and good to me! I wish all nurses, PACs, and doctors were as good, kindhearted, caring, and
understanding. She is a true blessing to your facility. I’ve never met anyone in a hospital setting as kindhearted and caring as
Lynda Tyree, PAC.
Thank you,
Lori L. Simpson
