Physician Recruiter Adrianne Receives Employee of the Month Award

Physician Recruiter Adrianne has been honored with the North Oaks Health System Employee of the Month Award for January 2021.

Adrianne joined the North Oaks team in her current role of Physician Recruiter in 2017. From March 2019 to December 2020, she also supervised the PBX Department. Born at the hospital and also the granddaughter of a Ponchatoula strawberry farmer, Adrianne takes great pride in showcasing all that North Oaks, the surrounding charming communities and Louisiana has to offer to those considering joining the health system’s medical staff.

“This community is my home. I enjoy helping physicians and their families make it their home too,” shares Adrianne.

A self-described “Lion for Life,” Adrianne earned a bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences from Southeastern Louisiana University.

Originally from Ponchatoula, Adrianne recently purchased a home in Loranger and has three “fur babies,” – Champ, a Cane Corso; Maddux, a Morkie; and Oakley, a cat that she adopted from the North Oaks Medical Center parking lot.

When she’s not recruiting physicians, you can usually find Adrianne with her longtime boyfriend Josh cheering his 11-year-old son Kaleb on at his travel baseball tournaments or playing with her 1 year-old-nephew Tripp. Her interests include cooking and following her favorite NFL teams, including the New Orleans Saints and the Pittsburg Steelers among others.

“Adrianne personifies the North Oaks culture in her endeavors," affirms Physician Services Director Stephanie Kropog. "With the warmest of smiles and hospitality, she knowledgably attracts new physicians to our community. She is focused on improving lives by engaging, recruiting and onboarding candidates to join our medical staff who are both highly skilled and embrace what makes our health system such a special place to work.”
