Foundation Leadership

Nicole Williams
Executive Director 980-323-4570 nicole.williams1@advocatehealth.org
Nicole is a proud UNC-Chapel Hill graduate, Stanly County native, and has dedicated more than 24 years of her career serving her community through our local hospital. She and her husband, John, have two sons, Jack and Eli, better known around town as the talented mural artists behind WMS Brothers. When she's not working, Nicole can be found with her nose in a good book, traveling with friends, turning chaos into order through organizing, and spoiling her pups, Bentley and Bella.
Kim McGowen
Development Officer 980-323-4103 kimberly.mcgowen@advocatehealth.org
A graduate of UNC-Charlotte and an avid South Carolina Gamecocks fan, Kim moved to Stanly County in 1995 when she married her husband, Michael. Kim enjoys traveling, exercising, baking, and spending time with her family. Her son, Mason, and daughter-in-law, Elizabeth, (both USC alumni) recently welcomed a precious little girl, Ivey, to the family.
Amy Jones
Financial Officer 980-323-4096 Amy.R.Jones@advocatehealth.org

They love to spend time together boating on Lake Tillery. Amy also enjoys decorating and playing with her labradoodles, Leo and Josie.

Why I Give.

“I give to Stanly Health Foundation because they give so much to others. As I work at The Breast Center, I see first-hand how much the Foundation helps ladies with no insurance. The foundation allows them to have their mammograms paid for through the Foundation Grant.”

– Christi Cline, Mammography Technologist, The Breast Center at Atrium Health-Stanly
