JOY HEATH PARTNER WILLIAMS

MULLEN RALEIGH

Joy Heath feels a sense of pride when she looks over a map and sees the locations of the healthcare facilities she has helped develop over the course of her career.

After receiving her law degree from the University of Florida Fredric G. Levin College of Law, she joined a firm with a busy healthcare practice and began what would become a decades-long career.

Today, as a partner in the Charlotte office of Williams Mullen, she has over 30 years of experience representing clients in the health care sector in business and regulatory matters, focusing on primarily focusing on Certificate of Need (CON), acquisitions and compliance-related matters.

“I am proud to have worked with providers to develop new facilities, add services, and offer the major medical equipment that allow patients to receive needed health care in their communities,” she said.

Heath is the mother of two adult children. Her daughter, who was once a contestant on Jeopardy, is an attorney in Washington, D.C. Her son is a master barber in Florida.

“My children inspire me with how they have lived their lives so fully and pursued their professional dreams,” she said.
