“I love working with the people at the Baker Center, we are all pretty close,” she says. “I enjoy taking care of and meeting the patients in our community, as well as getting to know visitors passing through with an urgent care need.”

Julia Perry, Office Manager of Baker Primary Care Center, says of Keressa: “She can be described in one word, ‘passionate’. Every conversation with her reflects the genuine care provided to our patients, and the sense of family both employees and patients feel. She is enthusiastic and thrives in a fast-paced environment. She wants to improve the quality of people’s lives by compassionately providing the best of care. Keressa truly makes a difference in patients’ lives every day.”

“We love to kayak, hike, and spend time on the lake in our spare time,” she says. “I am a member of Grace Community Church in Marion, NC where I serve on the medical team. I moved here from Bristol, Va in 2020 where I spent my adult life. My dad was in the Air Force, so growing up we moved around a lot. When I came to the area for my interview, I fell in love with the area and the people. I feel truly blessed to get to live and work in such a beautiful area.”

🌟Employee Spotlight🌟
on Angie Jackson
Baker Center for Primary Care

Angie Jackson has been a Front Desk Receptionist at the Baker Primary Care Center in Linville for four years. She says what she loves most about working there is making people smile.

“We get so many people that seem lonely whether they live alone or they have family that have moved away,” she says. " Each of us have the power to make a difference — in big and small ways.” She credits the time she spent at Crossnore School when she was a teenager as being her second chance in life and a big influence on why she wants to make a difference in the lives of others.

On her days off she loves to cook and share with others. She also loves to watch her neighbors’ horses and cows while sitting on her porch. “I have been married for 30 years to my wonderful and handsome Thomas Jackson,” Angie said. The couple have three children and they attend Oak Grove Baptist Church in Newland.

Her hobbies include walking, working in the yard, spending time with family, attending Vacation Bible School, helping with any sporting event, tennis, shopping, visiting waterfalls, Pac-man and word search.
