Good morning, Employee Partners,
As we begin a new week, I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge, share, and extend my sincere gratitude to Charlean for her exceptional leadership in spearheading our 2025 Annual Compliance and Ethics Training, which was held this past Saturday at Hinds Community College.
We had an impressive turnout of nearly 200 attendees, comprised of Mid-South employee partners, administrators we collaborate with, as well as external therapists and administrators.
Our guest speakers, Julie Mitchell, Esquire, from Hat Law Firm, and Sabrina McCarley, MBA-SL, L/OTR, CLIPP, RAC-CT, QCP, FAOTA, RAC-CTA with Transitional Care Management, delivered outstanding presentations that were both engaging and highly educational. I want to express my sincere appreciation to them for their exceptional contributions to our Annual Compliance and Ethics Training.
The countless hours invested in making this event a reality was monumental, I cannot emphasize enough how much I value and appreciate Charlean Williams, L/OTR, CHC, RAC, and Vice President of HIM and Compliance, for ensuring that our 2025 event was executed flawlessly, your dedication, loyalty, and hard work are recognized and greatly valued. Thank you, Charlean, and great job!
I also want to recognize and share my appreciation with all those who supported our event from the ESC. This success would not have been possible without the contributions of each one of you who participated. Again, I want to sincerely thank each and every person involved in making this event a tremendous success for our employee partners and guests. The quality of this event is a true reflection of our collective commitment to excellence as a company and our dedication to continuous growth and improvement as one of the most respected therapy companies in our industry. Great job, team!
As we approach this sacred season, I want to take a moment to recognize Palm Sunday and its profound significance. Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, a time when we reflect on Jesus Christ's triumphant entry into Jerusalem, where He humbly rode on a donkey the Sunday before Easter. The crowds welcomed Him with open arms, laying down palm branches as a symbol of victory and peace.
In our mission as a faith-based Community, we are committed to serving our patients with compassion, kindness, and love. It is essential that we embody the spirit of service that defines our purpose. Just as Jesus came to serve and heal, we, too, are called to follow His example by providing quality care to those in need.
Service
"For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but serve one another through love."
Galatians 5:13 (NASB)
This scripture encourages us to recognize that true service is rooted in love and dedication. It highlights our responsibility to care for the well-being of our patients and community. Living a Christian life involves not only embracing personal freedom but also actively using that freedom to uplift and support others. By positively impacting those around us, we can truly embody the love of Christ through our actions.
As we enter this Holy Week, I want to encourage each of you to take time for personal reflection. In our daily endeavors, it is important to remember that our purpose extends beyond the workplace. Our service is an embodiment of our faith, a testament to our belief in the healing love of Christ.
Easter represents a profound opportunity for renewal, forgiveness, and hope. As we prepare our hearts for the events of Jesus’s crucifixion, death, and resurrection, let us remember the light that follows the darkness. It is in this very cycle of loss and triumph that we find the promise of eternal life, a gift that comes from accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.
With love and faith, let us serve diligently and compassionately, not only in our roles but also in our communities. Let us reflect upon the true meaning of Easter, embracing the profound gift of life that is offered to us—a life that transcends this world and leads to eternity.
May this season fill you with hope, peace, and a renewed sense of purpose as we continue to walk the path of service and love. Thank you for your unwavering dedication and hard work.
In Christ's love,
Steven L. Cole
President and Chief Executive Officer
