Taffy Edgerton

Certified Medical Assistant, Pre-Operation Phase II

Happy with Pardee since 2021

Where are you from?

I'm a native of Henderson County.

What inspired you to work for UNC Health Pardee?

I came to UNC Health Pardee because I've always taken pride and been motivated to provide compassionate care to patients. I believe Pardee demonstrates that same kind of pride by providing a safe and caring environment for its patients.

What does a typical workday look like for you?

A typical workday for me is greeting patients and their families, taking vitals, drawing blood, performing EKGs, doing minimal testing such as glucose finger sticks and urine analysis, and stocking supplies.

What do you appreciate most about the culture and community at Pardee?

I appreciate that they focus on the people, including both patients and employees.

What is a surprising fact about yourself?

I love to dance. Dancing makes me feel free!
