We're proud to introduce the leader behind Chattanooga Health and Rehab Center, Scott Goins. His dedication to serving others, commitment to excellence, and passion for supporting residents, families, and our team are just a few of the qualities that make him such an important part of our community.
Scott's journey into senior care began in an unexpected way. After being seriously injured in a car accident at 18 years old, he experienced firsthand the impact compassionate healthcare professionals can have during recovery. Inspired by his own rehabilitation, he pursued a career in physical therapy, spending the next decade helping patients regain strength and independence as a Physical Therapist Assistant and Rehab Services Manager.
Wanting to make an even greater impact, Scott returned to college to earn his degree in Healthcare Administration. Since becoming a licensed administrator in Tennessee in 2006, he has spent nearly 20 years leading skilled nursing communities and serving as a Regional Vice President of Operations, always focused on improving care, supporting his teams, and creating positive outcomes for residents.
When asked what he enjoys most about his role, Scott's answer is simple: seeing the difference his team makes in the lives of residents every single day.
Whether overcoming challenges together or celebrating successes, he believes great care is built through strong leadership and teamwork.
Scott describes his leadership style in just three words: firm, fair, and consistent.
His greatest accomplishment isn't found on a résumé, but in the moments when former residents, families, patients, and employees stop him to say his servant leadership made a lasting difference in their lives.
Outside of work, Scott enjoys college football, fishing, and spending time with his family. And here's a fun fact: in 1997, he had the opportunity to have breakfast with Peyton Manning.
Scott lives by a philosophy that guides everything he does:
"We can never strive for perfection, but we must always strive for excellence. When we pursue excellence, success and positive outcomes will follow."
At Chattanooga Health and Rehab Center, we're grateful to have Scott Goins leading our team. His experience, compassion, and servant leadership inspire those around him and help create an environment where residents, families, and team members feel supported every day.
