Hometown Hero of the Week

Hometown Hero of the Week: Jamie Spain, March 5th, 2025

Hometown Hero of the Week: Jamie Spain, March 5th, 2025

Our QDR Hometown Hero of the week is Jamie Spain, registered nurse from Spring Hope.

Jamie was nominated by her daughter who says, “My mom has been a registered nurse for nearly 30 years with Boice Willis Clinic. She currently works full time as a float nurse covering various office locations while also working part time at a local walk-in clinic. She has formed long lasting relationships with her patients while also providing the best care for each of them. She never fails to put others before herself- patients or not. When she is not busy working, she enjoys spending time with her three kids and her two grandsons and trips to the beach!” 

Thank you, Jamie, for your service! As a token of our appreciation, we’re sending you a $50 gift card to Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q to thank you for all you do.
