Dunn takes helm of rural health center overhaul
Dunn was hired in 1998 from a North Carolina community health agency to lead a rural medical services agency facing internal turmoil and threatened federal funding. Amid cash flow crises, the Margaret C. Weston center overhauled procedures as staff turnover hit levels, with directors and a nurse practitioner leaving. Dunn later stabilized finances, earning praise from former board directors for balancing the center’s books. The Clearwater center, founded in the 1970s by Margaret Weston, runs a satellite in Aiken.
