Health Care 2024: MARY N. MANNIX

Following its mission to promote the health of its Shenandoah Valley community, Augusta Health, which Mannix has led since 2008, opened a new community clinic at its main campus in Fishersville in July.

Designed for those who do not have a primary care provider or need to be seen quickly, the clinic is staffed by medical residents who are supervised by physicians.

Mannix oversees more than 2,450 employees who work at the independent, community-owned hospital, at family practices and at other outpatient facilities. 

After beginning her career as a surgical intensive care nurse at the University of Rochester’s Strong Memorial Hospital, Mannix moved to health care management. She spent nearly two decades working for the Pennsylvania-based Guthrie Clinic, leaving in 2007 as president and chief operating officer of the Guthrie Robert Packer Hospital.

A member of the boards of the Virginia Hospital and Healthcare Association and the Shenandoah Valley Partnership, Mannix also is a fellow in the American College of Healthcare Executives.

Mannix received her undergraduate and master’s degrees in nursing, as well as an MBA, from Binghamton University in New York.
