🌟 Employee Spotlight: Leasa DeBord, RN

Honoring dedication, compassion, and lifelong learning at JRSH

Today, we are excited to spotlight Leasa DeBord, a devoted nurse whose passion for behavioral health and commitment to her patients shine through in everything she does.

Leasa began her nursing journey at Baptist Health College Little Rock, where she earned her RN in 2018. Her dedication to continued growth led her to pursue her Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Capella University, where she is currently advancing her education. Since the very start of her career in 2018, Leasa has worked in behavioral health, a specialty that holds deep personal meaning for her.

Leasa has witnessed many family members suffer from mental illness—experiences that sparked her passion to better understand mental health and help break the stigma surrounding it. These moments inspired her to build a career centered on compassion, patience, and meaningful impact.

Among her proudest accomplishments are being a mother to three amazing children—ages 23, 20, and 13—and fulfilling her dream of becoming a nurse. She brings that same strength, love, and perseverance into her work each day.

Outside of nursing, Leasa enjoys painting and crafting, creative outlets that allow her to unwind and express herself. Many people may not know this, but she was a cosmetologist for 15 years before becoming a nurse—a talent that highlights her eye for detail, her creativity, and her love for helping others feel cared for.

When asked who she admires most, Leasa immediately thought of her mother, Sandra Hathcock.
She shared:
“She went back to college while raising five children, showing us that determination prevails over statistics. She went into the medical field, where she always went above and beyond for her patients, showing what compassion and respect look like. She was my biggest cheerleader when I decided to return to school in my 30s—and she still pushes me to be my best.”

For those entering the nursing field, Leasa offers powerful advice:
“Self-reflection, respect, and compassion are key to success within this field.”

Leasa, thank you for your dedication, your heart for behavioral health, and the steady, compassionate care you provide each day.
JRSH is proud to have you on our team. 💙✨
