Her Story

About Latasha

Latasha Hill serves as Radiology Director at Atrium Health Navicent in Macon, Georgia. She began her healthcare career in 2004 as a student worker in x-ray while attending technical school for her radiology certificate. After graduating, she worked full-time on second shift and advanced to second shift supervisor. She later transitioned to mammography, becoming the first African-American mammography technologist at the hospital, and progressed to lead mammography technologist and breast center manager for 10 years. In 2023, Hill wrote a congressional spending grant awarded $2 million to establish a mobile mammography program, which delivered its first unit in December 2024 and served over 1,600 patients by the end of the following year. She assumed her current director role in late 2023 after the prior director's retirement. Hill earned her bachelor's degree from Georgia Southern and her master's degree from Cabarrus Healthcare Science. She attributes her success to empathy and giving grace, values passed down from mentors and her mother, and she focuses on mentorship to rebuild the profession after COVID by engaging high school students about radiology careers.

Her Interview

Ten minutes with Latasha

01What do you attribute your success to?

I attribute my success to empathy and giving grace. Treating people how you want to be treated has been a core value passed down from mentors and my mom.

02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

Don't give up. Every day in patient care is different but rewarding because what we do truly matters. We are the eyes of medicine, seeing diagnoses, cancer on x-rays, broken bones, or catching incidental findings on CT scans that save lives. It's so much more than just button pushers or taking pictures of bones.

03What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?

The greatest challenge is growing the profession after COVID, as many healthcare workers left and we lost others. Rebuilding what the profession used to be prior to COVID has been difficult. I've focused on mentorship and talking to high school students early about radiology careers.
