NASHVILLE – Leadership Health Care (LHC), a group of health care professionals and entrepreneurs organized in partnership with the Nashville Health Care Council, has announced Johnny Harrison as the 2006 recipient of the Leadership Health Care Volunteer of the Year Award.

Harrison, administrative director of Rehab Services at Skyline Medical Center, is an active member of LHC and has volunteered for the past two years as a leader of LHC’s Peer Mentoring Program.  This program brings LHC members together in small group environments for focused discussion and networking.
