Vaughn’s position as the administrator of Managed Health and Wellness from 1994 to 1997 involved planning, development and implementation of business plans and programs to promote the system’s wellness product line.
Vaughn also has a strong clinical background. In 1992, she was promoted from clinical director for Baptist Memorial Hospital-East (now Baptist Memorial Hospital-Memphis) and Baptist Medical Center to the assistant vice president for Baptist East, overseeing all of the hospital’s clinical areas. Prior to 1985, Vaughn worked in the Medical Surgical Intensive Care and Critical Care units, receiving numerous promotions during that time.
