Who's Who at H3: Dot Young

If you’ve ever visited Hilton Head Health (H3), then you’ve undoubtedly had the pleasure of meeting Dot.  Dot is H3’s Program Administrative Assistant aka the go-to girl for most of your program needs and services.  Many of you know and have spoken to Dot, as she’s the first face you see when you enter the door into the Program Offices; you probably even know her office music of choice – but did you know that she’s one of the most tenured H3 Team members? 

Dot was born and raised in Hardeeville, SC.  She attended South Carolina State University in Orangeburg, SC, where she attained a B.S. degree in Office Administration and Management.  Upon graduation, Dot moved to Myrtle Beach, SC, where she worked with AVX Corporation for seven years.  Wanting to return home, Dot moved back to Hardeeville where she found a job on Hilton Head Island in Sea Pines Resort. 

Dot joined the H3 Team in 1993 where she started out doing a little bit of everything (even more so than she does today!).  She assisted in multiple departments ranging from Front Desk/Guest Services to Sales and Marketing to Program.  She eventually found her niche in Program Services, and today is considered one of the most valuable players by the Program Staff.  Dot’s responsibilities include distributing the daily and weekly schedules, managing the Health Specialists’ schedules and making Guest appointments (ranging from Metabolic Assessments to Personal Trainings to Private Consults), and much more! “I may not be a Bob, Beth or Adam, but I am glad to be a part of this team and help contribute to the life-changing experiences we offer here.” 

One of Dot’s most fond memories is when one Guest completed her first triathlon during our fitness-focused specialty week. “Everyday leading up to that event, she came to me and expressed her worries of not being able to complete it. And although I would reassure her, she still did not believe in herself.  Needless to say, Friday quickly came – and she completed it. As she crossed the finish line, tears of joy rolled down her face, which instantly brought tears to mine – and every staff member and Guest who witnessed it. It’s moments like that when I’m reminded of the impact we have on each Guest’s life.” 

When she’s not assisting our Guests and/or Staff, you can find Dot spending time with her family, fine-tuning her landscape photography skills (trees to be exact) or gardening.
