Raines Named State School Nurse Administrator of the Year

Hardeman County Board of Education’s Health Services Supervisor, Lisa Raines, RN,BSN, has been formally recognized as the Tennessee School Nurse Administrator of the Year at this year’s Tennessee Association of School Nurses state conference.   

Raines has served as a School Nurse throughout Hardeman County Schools for 28 years.  She was appointed Supervisor of Health Services in 2015.

During her leadership, Raines has been afforded the opportunity to place a School Nurse in every school.  Each school in the county has been designated as a “Heart Safe School” by meeting criteria from LeBonheur’s Pediatric Cardiology Team.

In 2018, a partnership with the Hardeman County Community Health Center, opened a School Health Clinic at Bolivar Elementary School to provide health services to all our students and staff during the school day.

Plans to start Telehealth services through the School Health Clinic are underway.

Raines serves on various state and local health related boards.

“Our motto is that ‘Healthy children make better learners!’  We have an amazing staff of school nurses.  Each school nurse brings something special to their school!” “I am proud to be a Hardeman Countian and feel very privileged to have served our students over the years”.
