Atmore Community Hospital (ACH) announced today the planned retirement of Tommy Shehan, Director of Materials Management for the Escambia County Healthcare Authority (ECHCA), effective October 31, 2025.

Shehan joined DWM in 2020 as Director of Materials Management, following eight years as Administrator of the Brewton Medical Center. In his current role with ECHCA, Shehan oversees supply chain operations for both D.W. McMillan Memorial Hospital and Atmore Community Hospital, ensuring the efficient management of vital medical resources across the healthcare system.

“We are very thankful for the role Tommy has played in advancing our mission and supporting our team,” said Wes Nall, Chief Financial Officer of ECHCA. “We wish him the very best in his retirement as he enjoys more time with his wife and grandchildren on their family farm.”

ACH also announced that Haley Emmons has been selected to succeed Shehan as Supply Chain Manager for ACH. Emmons brings 13 years of experience to the position in this internal promotion.

“Haley has consistently demonstrated a strong ability to quickly understand and apply new procedures or concepts within the purchasing functions,” said Shehan. “She exhibits a strong initiative and a keen aptitude for learning and problem solving.”

When asked what she enjoys most about her work, Emmons shared that knowing the work she does supports patient care is very rewarding.

A graduate of Escambia County High School (Class of 2009) and Faulkner State Community College (Class of 2011), Emmons and her family live in Atmore.

🌟 Lifesaver Award Spotlight 🌟

Please join us in congratulating Shane Johnson, Physical Therapy Assistant, for receiving the Lifesaver Award! 👏

Recently, Shane was working with a patient recovering from knee surgery who reported abnormal pain and had significant tenderness. Drawing on his knowledge and genuine concern for his patient, Shane asked thoughtful questions about her medical history—and learned she had a history of blood clots.

Recognizing the warning signs, Shane personally wheeled her to the ER! The patient was diagnosed with a blood clot and was able to begin medication promptly to address the issue.

Because of Shane’s attentiveness, quick thinking, and dedication, this patient received life-saving care. 💙

Thank you, Shane, for going above and beyond for your patients every day. You truly embody what the Lifesaver Award is all about.

🌟 Lifesaver Award Spotlight 🌟

Please join us in celebrating Holly Gipson, RN, ED Manager, for receiving the Lifesaver Award! 🏆💙

A patient presented to the ER with chest pain and high blood pressure. While initial cardiac tests appeared normal, Holly’s expertise and intuition told her something more was going on. She shared her concerns with the ER physician who ordered a follow-up EKG and other testing, which confirmed the patient was experiencing a heart attack.

Thanks to Holly’s quick thinking and dedication, the patient received timely, life-saving treatment and was transferred to a higher level of care yielding a great outcome. 🙌

👏 Way to go, Holly, for your incredible skill, leadership, and commitment to patient care!
