Pilya and Rameya were taken by surprise when named the 2024 Employees of the Year at a celebration held in February. The duo was selected for their exceptional compassion and care demonstrated towards a homeless patient. The patient, new to the clinic and in clear need of assistance, received unwavering support from Chaney and Pinkard. They went above and beyond by purchasing essential clothing for the patient and providing personal hygiene assistance. The patient left the clinic feeling refreshed and immensely grateful for their kindness

Brooke Donaldson, CEO of Jackson Hospital, stated, “Their selflessness in helping a vulnerable patient is truly inspiring. They are dedicated employees who consistently demonstrate kindness towards patients and colleagues alike.”

Each year, a celebration with Administration and all employees is held to name the Employee of The Year. The Employee of the Year is chosen by the Employee Leadership Council from the previously recognized Employees of the Quarter. Jackson Hospital Foundation awards the Employee(s) of the Year with a monetary gift with funds designated for this special occasion.
