Career of Loving Care
Family Practice Provider, Kyle Kelley, FNP-C, and Nurse, Jasmine Daniels, LPN, captured the minds and hearts of West Bainbridge Elementary School Kindergarteners at Career Day. Both shared with students their reason for choosing a health care career, demonstrated the instruments they use daily to provide care, and left each student with valuable knowledge and a treat bag!

Daisy Award Winner
Congratulations Jenny Ratts-Harrison, Daisy Award winner! Jenny was nominated by Donna Viscardi, MHM Consultant. Donna was most appreciative of the time and effort Jenny contributed to the OB/GYN Documentation Project. Jenny spent countless hours (many on her own time) making the documentation process more efficient, allowing nurses more time to spend with patients. Donna expressed that throughout the project, Jenny has gone above and beyond with developing new assessments and training nurses in the department. We’re in agreement with Donna. Jenny is an amazing and caring employee and patients and MHM are lucky to have her.

Legislator of the Year
MHM congratulates our own, Senator Dean Burke, M.D., Chief Medical Officer!
GHA presented its prestigious Legislator of the Year Award to Georgia State Sen. Dean Burke (R-Bainbridge). The award recognizes an outstanding legislator who, through his or her efforts in the Georgia General Assembly, promotes legislation that helps ensure health care access for every Georgian and demonstrates support of GHA’s legislative goals.
As vice chairman of the Senate Health and Human Services Committee and chairman of the Senate Health Subcommittee of Appropriations, Sen. Burke supported state budget increases in emergency department reimbursement, including a 20 percent increase and 40 percent increase for urban and rural hospitals, respectively. He was also instrumental in raising the Rural Hospital Tax Credit to 90 percent from 70 percent during the 2017 Georgia General Assembly Session and then to 100 percent during the 2018 Session. The tax credit recently reached its full donation cap for the first time and will greatly help rural hospitals and the patients and communities they serve.
