Cindy Proctor, RN, BSN, MBA has been recognized as the 2010 John Young Leadership Award winner for Cleveland County HealthCare System (CCHS).
“Cindy is the kind of leader every organization wants to have,” said Brian Gwyn, President and Chief Executive Officer of CCHS. “She coaches, leads and inspires her staff to live up to our mission of providing excellent care and service to every patient.”
 Proctor is currently the director of the Quality Management Department for CCHS. She began working at Cleveland Regional Medical Center (CRMC) in 1993 as a staff nurse. She left the organization for a brief period while she pursued her bachelor of science degree in nursing and her masters of business administration. She returned to CCHS in 2004 and has served as director of a nursing unit, the outpatient surgery department and the post-anesthesia care unit before moving into her current role.
Proctor was nominated by her staff for the leadership role she exemplifies every day. Proctor’s staff commented that: “One thing we have learned from Cindy is that healthcare goes much beyond fighting disease and infirmity. It is first and foremost about people.  It is about helping people faced with chronic and life threatening situations maintain their hopes and their dreams and stay connected to their families, their community, their work, and their dignity.”
Upon learning of her honor, Proctor was humbled by the comments of her staff.  “Everyone at CCHS works hard each day to ensure we provide quality care to our patients,” she said. “I think the greatest thing for me was that my staff made the nomination. The thought and time that they put into it meant so much to me.”
Given annually, the John Young Leadership Award recognizes excellence in leadership in several areas including communication, teamwork, creative problem solving, and the leader’s ability to positively influence people and bring out the best in others.
The award was created in 2004 to honor former Cleveland County HealthCare System President and CEO John Young for his years of dedicated leadership and strategic vision.
Proctor lives in the New House area of Cleveland County with her husband Todd and their children Abbie (11) and Landon (6).
