As Director of Nursing, Keller will be essential in furthering the quality of care provided by Coplin’s clinical department as the organization reorganizes the management of the nursing and Certified Medical Assistant departments. She will also support and improve training in preventative healthcare programs, such as the WVBCCSP and Vaccine for Children programs in West Virginia and Ohio.
