Tanjlea Pruitt
Marketing and Admissions Director

Tanjlea has been in the healthcare industry for nearly a decade and before that was in the hospitality sector. She brings a unique view and approach to our team here at Sharpview. Starting at the young age of 15 she would volunteer in long term care facilities where her great grand father was a resident. She saw the stress and struggle that could be placed on families with loved ones in long term care when they didn’t have all the right information and no one had the time to sit with them and walk through the process. Because of this and her love for serving such a vulnerable population, she vowed to try her hardest to change the system to ease the burden on the families of long term care patients. She works daily through her role as admissions and marketing director to guide every family through the intake process here at Sharpview and sit with them throughout to make sure they have everything they need. She really does make the choice of placing your loved one in our care an easy one with her warm attitude and giving heart.
