Piedmont HealthCare is excited to announce the addition of Kayce Johnson as a director of operations. As the organization continues its rapid expansion, with over 70 locations and 228 providers, this new role will be crucial in meeting the increasing demand for Piedmont HealthCare’s services.

Johnson brings a wealth of experience to this position, having begun her career in healthcare business development. Her journey into healthcare operations was significantly shaped by the challenges Iredell County faced during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Working at vaccine clinics and managing day-to-day tasks that ensured everything ran efficiently helped me realize that I thrive in this area,” she said. “I’m eager to use this experience to help make sure offices are running smoothly.”

Johnson was drawn to Piedmont HealthCare because of its innovative approach to care and its proactive problem-solving attitude.

“Piedmont HealthCare’s commitment to overcoming obstacles with a focus on quality care really resonated with me,” she explained. “I’m excited to contribute to a team that is constantly seeking to improve and adapt.”

CEO Jeff Smith said Johnson would be a tremendous asset to Piedmont HealthCare in her new role.

“As our organization expands, we need leaders like Kayce who understand the community and are dedicated to delivering exceptional care for our patients and supporting our offices,” Smith said.

Outside of work, Johnson and her family enjoy the unique blend of small-town charm and proximity to larger cities that Statesville offers. Their weekends are often spent on Lake Norman, exploring the mountains, and engaging in seasonal activities.

“We’ve started camping with our young daughters and dogs, and we look forward to making that a regular family activity,” she said.
