Dr. Hightower surprised CEO Billy Hayes with the Superintendents 2019 Game Changer Award for Instructional Advocacy during the monthly board meeting of the Cherokee County Educational Foundation, for which the hospital leader serves as board president.

Its important that weve got people in the county in leadership positions who are advocates for our schools and our kids, and you are a shining example of that, Dr. Hightower said. We believe that Billy is a game changer, not just at the hospital, but also in the Cherokee County School District.

Dr. Hightower noted the support Hayes has given to the Foundation since its establishment as a charter board member and current board president.

The decisions this board makes under your leadership impact 42,000 kids every day, Dr. Hightower said.

In addition to his work with the Foundation, Hayes has championed instructional opportunities at the hospital, including clinical rotations for 40 CCSD Career Pathways healthcare science high school students each year. Northside Hospital Cherokee also sponsors programs like Teacher of the Year, which recognizes instructional excellence at the school district. The hospital likewise supports projects at the school level, such as donating hospital equipment to high school healthcare classrooms, supplying school nurse clinics, and purchasing AED devices for schools.
