Hillary Glenn

Executive Director, Point Washington Medical Clinic

Dr. Hillary Glenn, DNP, APRN-BC, serves as executive director of the Point Washington Medical Clinic, a nonprofit primary care facility in Santa Rosa Beach, which she co-founded in 2017. What began as a one-day-per-week clinic has evolved into a $3 million facility that has provided $4 million in health care services to the community—with a dedicated team of more than 140 volunteers who have contributed 33,000 hours of service, saving the area more than $5 million annually by preventing unnecessary emergency room visits. Dr. Glenn, who has called Walton County home since 2009, manages operations, fundraising, board relations, and volunteer coordination. She provides direct patient care, is a certified functional medicine provider and yoga instructor, and an avid adventurer. She shares her Point Washington home with her husband, Tamás Juhász.

Describe a defining moment in your career.

In 1999, I traveled to Vietnam where I met a 9-year-old girl. I learned that her mother died four months earlier after childbirth because she was not able to walk two hours to the nearest health facility. The story haunted me. I decided to leave my career, and I began the journey into health care.

How do you define success?

I view success as a blend of purposeful work, meaningful community engagement, and creating a positive impact that extends beyond myself—supported by a health balance between professional drive and personal renewal.

Tell us about a time when you were met with a crossroads decision. How did you face that?

In my early 30s while living in New York City, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis that progressed rapidly, making city living a challenge. I turned to my doctor for guidance, whose advice to move closer to family hit hard. Accepting that I would likely need support in daily life, I made the tough choice to leave New York and relocate to the Florida Panhandle to be nearer to family—a move that would ultimately transform my life.

What changes do you hope to see in your community over the coming years?

I would love to see a community that celebrates differences, demonstrates genuine compassion, and takes concrete action to support those in need. By lifting up individuals who haven’t had the same opportunities as others, we build a stronger community.

What advice do you have for young women pursuing their careers?

Dream big. Pay attention to your dreams. Keep yourself physically ready for the energy that dreams require, and access your heart and spirit. Believe in yourself and your abilities. Life has a funny way of opening new insights.
