OccMD, a leading medical manager for workplace injuries, is pleased to announce the appointment of Cheryl Killion, BSN, RN, CCM, as the new director of nurse case management beginning June 1.
 
Killion has served as a senior nurse case manager at OccMD for 12 years and is well-positioned to lead the OccMD team of nurses in the delivery of high-quality case management. Before joining OccMD, Killion served in nursing roles with Denton ISD and Medical City Healthcare. She earned a bachelor’s degree in nursing from Texas A&M University and is a registered nurse, as well as a certified case manager.
 
"Cheryl's dedication, expertise and commitment to our company's mission to achieve better medical outcomes have been invaluable," noted Melissa Tonn, M.D., founder and chief medical officer of OccMD.
 
“Over the last 12 years, I have learned so much from Dr. Tonn’s medical knowledge and direction, along with the tremendous nurses I have the privilege of working with,” Killion said. “I hope to lead by example with compassion and hard work to meet the goals of OccMD’s clients as we serve their injured workers.”
 
Killion succeeds Diane Holliday, who retires May 31 after 15 years of dedicated service to OccMD.  “I’ve known Cheryl since 2004,” Holliday said. “I really admire her and know she will be a wonderful asset to OccMD, our nurse case managers and our clients.”
