JOYCE
E.
TAPLEY,
MHA
Chief
Executive
Officer
Martin
Luther
King,
Jr.
Family
Clinic
Joyce
Tapley
is
the
Chief
Executive
Officer
at
Martin
Luther
King,
Jr.
Family
Clinic,
located
in
the
King
Center
(just
a
mile
West
of
Fair
Park).
She
directs
and
manages
the
operations
of
the
medical
and
dental
center,
which
is
funded
partially
by
the
federal
government
(U.S.
Department
of
Health
and
Human
Services).
More
specifically,
Mrs.
Tapley’s
group
is
responsible
for
providing
primary
and
preventive
medical,
dental
and
behavioral
health
care
to
the
residents
of
Dallas
County
and
surrounding
communities.
Joyce’s
focus
is
to
ensure
that
high
quality
health
services
are
provided
to
those
who
normally
do
not
have
access
to
affordable
health
care,
primarily
the
low
income
underinsured
and
uninsured
children
and
adults.
Although
the
federal
funds
support
those
who
cannot
afford
healthcare,
MLK
Jr.
Family
Clinic
accepts
most
major
private
insurance
plans.
Joyce
Tapley
joined
Martin
Luther
King,
Jr.
Family
Clinic
as
the
CEO
in
1998.
Previously,
she
has
held
positions
such
as
Business
Operations
Director
for
a
multi-specialty
180+
employee
medical
group
in
Fort
Worth
and
similar
senior
director
positions
in
major
hospital
&
trauma
centers
in
Northern
and
Southern
California.
In
California,
she
served
as
Assistant
Hospital
Administrator
at
one
of
the
major
Level
I
Trauma
Center
and
Teaching
Hospitals
–
Harbor-UCLA
Medical
Center,
and
as a
Clinical
Laboratory
Business
Ops
Director
at
San
Francisco
General
Hospital.
Tapley
has
over
20
years
of
experience
in
health
management
positions,
strategic
planning,
personnel
management,
fiscal
management,
fundraising,
grant
&
proposal
writing,
recruiting,
program
development
and
event
planning.
Ms.
Tapley
holds
a
masters
degree
in
health
care
administration,
and
a
bachelor’s
degree
in
mathematics
from
University
of
Washington,
in
Seattle,
Washington.
She
is a
wife
of
Robert
B.
Tapley,
and
mother
of
three
daughters,
Talya,
Breeanna,
and
Kamille
(ages
21,
11
and
6).
She
enjoys
drawing,
praise-dancing,
traveling,
mentoring,
and
inspiring
youth
to
achieve
their
goals.
Her
primary
motivation
for
remaining
in
health
care
is
from
her
personal
experience
with
being
diagnosed
as
having
thyroid
disease
(whereby
thyroid
cancer
runs
in
her
family)
and
very
high
cholesterol
in
her
teens,
and
has
been
challenged
in
recent
years
of
being
diagnosed
with
Type
2
diabetes,
which
is
also
is
prevalent
in
her
family.
She
believes
that
we
can
prevent
most
medical
illnesses
in
our
lives
as
long
as
we
work
hard
to
maintain
healthy
habits,
we
pray,
and
we
maintain
a
positive
attitude,
even
in
the
midst
of a
“storm”.
What
is
also
important
to
Joyce
is
that
she
helps
other
individuals
develop
good
work
ethics
and
grow
on a
personal
and
professional
level.
Mrs.
Tapley
wants
to
continue
to
keep
Dr.
Martin
Luther
King,
Jr.’s
dream
alive
of
all
people
coming
together
for
a
common
good,
and
treating
one
other
with
high
levels
of
respect
and
dignity.
Working
at
MLK
Jr.
Family
Clinic
gives
Mrs.
Tapley
the
ability
to
do
just
that!

Mary Kay and Fred Posey retired in 2004 after Fred spent 35 years in corporate management for a large electric utility and Mary Kay was active in teaching seminars on intercessory prayer and on the personal testimony of the healing power of God’s Word. In 2005 they became ordained missionaries and founders of Walking in Love Ministries, Inc. They began to fulfill a “dream of a missionary kid” to return to her birth home area of Nigeria, West Africa where her pioneer missionary parents, Dr. E. Milford and Eleanor Howell RN in 1945 began the clinic that became the Eku Baptist Hospital. Ministering to the Delta State village of Eku is the center point of their outreach to share the love of Jesus with evangelistic outreach for the salvation of souls and to continue the founding principles of teaching, preaching and healing in the name of Jesus. This outreach includes the hospital, a new orphanage, and the leper colony, feeding the orphans and widows, and other evangelical outreaches. They facilitate teams of doctors, surgeons, dentist, medical personnel, and others to return with them to Eku periodically come along side the nationals’ to rebuild and restore the hospital to be a greater soul winning entity than it was before. The vision and effort before them is “changing lives for eternity.”
