Christophe Tulou has been named executive director of the Delaware Center for the Inland Bays. Throughout his career, Tulou has developed strategies to reduce or eliminate harm to communities, the environment, and natural resources by bridging science, policy, law and politics to address challenges such as climate change resilience, community sustainability, coastal development, watershed management, and ocean resource protection. [caption id="attachment_228435" align="alignleft" width="233"]Children & Families First (CFF) welcomes Julius Mullen as its first chief inclusion officer.
Prior to being named Chief Inclusion Officer, Mullen served as CFF’s chief clinical officer for more than 15 years, the executive director for the Bryan Allen Stevenson School of Excellence for one year, and continues to lead Impact Delaware, a non-profit mentoring organization co-created with his spouse, Natasha Mullen to help youth ages 10 to 25 overcome challenges caused by trauma and adversity.
In his role, Mullen will partner with agency leaders throughout the organization to build upon several strategic priorities. Mullen will work with the Children & Families First leadership team, staff, consumers, and community stakeholders to further embed EDI into every aspect of the organization, including service delivery, human resources, and governance. He will also assist with cultivating an organizational cultural driven by compassion while ensuring professional accountability at all levels of the organization. Mullen will also expand on the agency’s professional learning landscape in alignment with trauma informed care, brain science and other pedagogical methodologies.
“My role is to learn about what’s going well and understand the challenges to gather supports – be it through empirical research, best practices from colleagues around the globe, or our internal intellectual capital,” Mullen said. “This is not a career move for me, this is career alignment. This is the very core of who I am, and I love that this opportunity allows me to further dedicate myself to working collaboratively with many others so all people can have what they need to be successful despite any demographic identity, lived experience or any other life circumstance.”
Beebe Healthcare welcomes physician assistant Sarah Stamm, PA-C, certified nurse midwife Sarah Brissey, CNM, MSN, board-certified psychiatrist Jennifer Yoon, MD, and licensed clinical social worker Jude Johnson-Shupe, LCSW.
[caption id="attachment_228437" align="alignright" width="185"]Stamm began her career at Beebe Healthcare, working as a physician assistant in the hospital’s intensive care unit as well as the healthcare system’s walk-in care clinics. In 2017, she pursued an opportunity at Mid Atlantic Family Practice, where in addition to managing care for patients diagnosed with acute and chronic medical issues, she played a critical role in developing and implementing treatment protocols and plans for patients diagnosed with or suspected to have COVID-19. During this time, she also served as a preceptor for nurse practitioner students. In 2022, Stamm transitioned back to Beebe, eager to contribute to the healthcare system’s growth, vision, and values.
“I come to work each day with a personal goal to help every patient be the healthiest version of themselves,” Stamm said. “Beebe is a central part of this community and I am happy to be part of a collective group of people who work in the best interest of our patients.”
Stamm is a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, where she earned a master’s degree in physician assistant studies. She also earned a bachelor’s degree in biological science from the University of Delaware. Stamm is certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA).
[caption id="attachment_228438" align="alignleft" width="170"]Brissey is a certified nurse midwife who serves patients at Beebe Women’s Health Rehoboth. She provides comprehensive obstetrical care, including prenatal, labor and delivery, and postpartum services for patients they navigate the processes of pre-conception planning, pregnancy, childbirth, and the early phases of motherhood. Additionally, Brissey sees patients in need of routine gynecologic care, covering annual GYN visits, preventive screenings, and contraceptive guidance.
Brissey is a graduate of Frontier Nursing University in Hyden, Kentucky, where she earned a master’s degree in nursing with post-graduate concentration in certified nurse midwifery. Additionally, she earned a bachelor’s degree in nursing from Wilmington University and an associate degree in nursing from Wor-Wic Community College. Brissey is certified by the American Midwifery Certification Board (AMCB).
Prior to joining Beebe Healthcare, Brissey worked as a certified nurse midwife for Chesapeake Women’s Health in Easton, Maryland. Earlier in her career, she held positions as a triage nurse for Eastern Shore OB/GYN in Salisbury, Maryland, a beside nurse on the med-surg unit at Atlantic General Hospital in Berlin, Maryland, and a rehabilitation/ventilator unit nurse at Berlin Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.
“I have worked for both small community hospitals and large hospital systems throughout my career,” Brissey said. “At Beebe, you get the best of both worlds, with an opportunity to provide advanced care for women and families across Sussex County, but in a place that carries that small, community-based feel – where each patient is cared for as an individual and with empathy and understanding.”
[caption id="attachment_228439" align="alignright" width="224"]Dr. Yoon provides comprehensive care as a psychiatric consultant at Beebe Healthcare’s Margaret H. Rollins Lewes Campus, specializing in care for patients in the emergency department as well as those who have been admitted to the hospital. Additionally, she sees outpatients at Beebe Behavioral Health in Lewes. At both locations, she diagnoses and treats a wide range of psychiatric disorders while also addressing comorbidities associated with mental health challenges. Dr. Yoon’s patients range in age from young adult through geriatrics.
Dr. Yoon joined Beebe in 2022 after serving as an assistant professor at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, where she played an instrumental role in leading communications efforts for the COVID-19 intensive care unit. In tandem, she worked for North Texas Veterans Affairs, providing psychiatric consultations at the VA hospital in Dallas. Earlier in her career, Dr. Yoon worked for multiple healthcare organizations in Maryland, including the University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center, the University of Maryland Medical Center, and Sheppard Pratt.
Dr. Yoon is a graduate of the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine. She went on to pursue residency training focused on psychiatry at the joint program offered by the University of Maryland Medical Center and Sheppard Pratt, one of the largest and leading psychiatric health systems in the country. Dr. Yoon also earned a bachelor’s degree in biology at the University of Virginia.
“It is wonderful to join a health system that shares and supports my view that mental health is an important part of a patient’s overall health,” Dr. Yoon said. “I look forward to joining in Beebe’s efforts to meet the need for psychiatric services in our community.”
[caption id="attachment_228440" align="alignleft" width="215"]Johnson-Shupe works alongside Dr. Yoon as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at Beebe Behavioral Health in Lewes. She offers supportive counseling services for patients age 18 and older who have been diagnosed with wide range of mental health conditions. Johnson-Shupe’s goal is to help her patients improve their social, emotional, and psychological health by applying cognitive behavioral techniques, empowerment theories, coping strategies, and motivational interviewing skills throughout the processes of intervention and recovery.
Johnson-Shupe’s experience with Beebe Healthcare dates back to 2011, when she joined the organization as a social worker in the Tunnell Cancer Center. There, she focused on providing patients and their families with case management guidance, including connection to community resources such as preventive care, psychotherapy services, supportive counseling, and grief support services. She later accepted a job with Jewish Family Services as a licensed clinical social worker and telehealth provider, where she worked for one year before returning to Beebe with a goal to concentrate on counseling services, in 2022.
Johnson-Shupe is a graduate of Delaware State University, where she earned both a Master of Social Work and a Bachelor of Arts in sociology. She is currently pursuing a doctoral degree in social work at Tulane University. Johnson-Shupe is licensed to practice as a clinical social worker in both Delaware and Virginia, and she is a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC), through courses completed at Delaware Technical Community College.
“I spent many years working in Beebe’s Tunnell Cancer Center, so I am very familiar with the organization,” Johnson-Shupe said. “I am excited to join the Behavioral Health team where I can focus more on counseling services to address mental health issues and serve the community in a new way.”
