Making a difference at Northside: Journey from CT tech to interim director

In the bustling hallways of Northside Hospital Atlanta, Terrell Hill stands as a testament to the power of dedication and growth within an organization. As the interim director of the radiology leadership team, Hill’s journey is one of inspiration and commitment, spanning nearly two decades of transformative experiences.

After graduating from school in Albany, GA, Hill’s relationship with Northside Hospital began in 2006, and we’re excited to share his incredible journey with you!

“My family, they’re my grounding point. Whenever my days seem endless and challenges pile up, they’re my go-to for a recharge,” said Hill.

Now in his current role as the interim director of the Radiology team, Hill’s responsibilities have certainly grown. Overseeing 15 different departments within radiology, he manages budgets, staffing, and day-to-day operations. A typical day in his shoes includes responding to emails, greeting staff, attending and leading multiple meetings, and making the art of multitasking look easy.

Despite his full days of leadership duties, Hill’s favorite aspect of his role remains rooted in the culture of the Radiology team.

“I love the culture of the Radiology team because we’re not only focused on our patients but also on creating an empowering environment for every employee,” Hill states. “Our approach starts from the top and trickles down. The underlying idea is that when we equip our employees with the tools they need and lead by example, it extends all the way to our patients.”

Radiology, as Hill explains, is the bridge that connects doctors to crucial imaging procedures like CAT scans, ultrasounds, and mammograms. He and his team facilitate these exams with utmost precision, ensuring timely and accurate diagnoses for patients in need.

While moving up the ladder from his role as a CT tech to his current position as interim director, Hill consistently displays dedication and enthusiasm, traits that continue to shape his journey at Northside Hospital.

Northside Hospital is committed to supporting its employees by providing a comprehensive range of benefits. From paid time off (PTO), medical, dental, and vision plans to maternity and paternity programs and various financial assistance options like a pension plan, 403b, and tuition reimbursement. Bolivar values these benefits and the level of care provided by the hospital. Being a young nurse herself, she’s grateful for a chance to grow in that professional development area.
