Activities at James River
Stacy Guzik leads the team at James River Nursing and Rehabilitation Center with Virginia Health Services. Prior to joining VHS, she rejoined Riverside Health System for over five years as Administrator at Patriots Colony at Williamsburg and Lifelong Health Smithfield. Before rejoining Riverside, she was the Administrator at Sentara Nursing Care Hampton and Bon Secours Maryview Nursing Care for a combined eight years. Stacy joined Riverside Health System in 1998 working in billing, accountant and then transitioned to Director of Business Operations, where she went through the Administrator-in-Training program and received her Nursing Home Administrator License in 2011. Stacy holds her bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Accounting from St. Leo University and her master’s in Management with a concentration in Healthcare Administration from Troy University. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her husband, traveling and paddle boarding, and visiting her son at college at the University of Lynchburg. Stacy believes that you should lead by example, and be present and consistent with your actions. One of her favorite quotes is “patient satisfaction begins and ends with compassion.” Stacy is passionate about what part, whether big or small, that she plays in a resident’s life and wants to show the community why VHS has such a strong vision and mission in what they do for their team members and residents.
Melissa leads the nursing Team at James River. She started her career as an LPN with Virginia Health Services in June 2009 as a medication nurse, later becoming the wound care nurse in 2013. While working at James River in 2019, she went back to school to obtain her RN license and became the Assistant Director of Nursing. Melissa went back to school in 2022 to receive her bachelor’s degree. She is grateful for the experiences in different areas of the building and believes it has provided her with a better understanding of how to help the team. In her free time she enjoys the beach, festivals, camping, and spending time with her kids, family and friends. Melissa has always enjoyed working in the geriatric population and feels there is so much to learn from this generation’s interesting experiences and stories. Over the years working at James River, it has become her home – not only the residents but with the staff as well.
