Granite VNA Vice President of Education and Quality Tammi Mozier, MBA, PT, ATC, COS-C, was recently named the 2023 New Hampshire Healthcare Hero for the Concord Region. Introduced in 2020 as a way to recognize healthcare workers on the frontlines of the pandemic, the New Hampshire Healthcare Hero Awards recognize healthcare workers who go above and beyond in their roles and inspire others.

Mozier, who has been with Granite VNA since 2000, was honored with a pinning ceremony at the agency that was streamed live on Facebook Monday, May 15.

“Tammi’s title does not adequately reflect the work she does each day to support our team and to care for our communities,” said Beth Slepian, MBA, PT, Granite VNA President/CEO, who nominated Mozier for the award. “Resiliency defines Tammi, who has provided leadership through a pandemic, workforce shortage, merger and implementation of a new electronic medical record system. She is an exemplary, thoughtful leader who cares deeply about the work we do and the team that is the foundation of our Mission to care for our community.”

Mozier has spent numerous years both in the field as a physical therapist providing direct patient care and providing leadership throughout many facets of the agency. She was promoted to her current role in August 2022. During the pandemic, she led the agency’s infection prevention efforts, which required her to closely monitor environments that were consistently changing to ensure the safety of our 450 team members and the 1,300 patients our agency cared for.

As the leader of Granite VNA’s education and quality teams, Mozier plays an integral role in introducing new team members to the agency and preparing them for the important work that they do. Her outstanding training program and support are critical to ensuring that the agency can recruit and retain a talented team to continue to carry out its mission.

Mozier holds a Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of Vermont and a Master of Business Administration with a Healthcare Administration certificate from Plymouth State University. She resides in Belmont, New Hampshire.

In addition to the Healthcare Hero Award pin, Mozier and her fellow 2023 awardees received a banner for their workplace and a goodie bag from New Hampshire Healthcare Hero Awards supporters. All 2023 awardees are listed on the organization’s website: www.nhhealthcareheroes.org
