Dear John Robert Burnett, DPT, Regional Clinical Director,

It is my distinct honor to recognize you today for your 10 years of stellar and exemplary service to our faith family, Mid South Rehab Services.

You joined our company on June 2, 2014, at the time you had just graduated from UMMC with your doctorate in physical therapy at the age of 25. From the moment I first met you, I knew you possessed the unique skills, qualities, and ability to be a leader in our organization. Wow, not only did you exceed my expectations, but you did so for all those who knew you. God has blessed you with the proficiency, skills, gifts, and abilities to lead others professionally and spiritually.

Jr, you have truly been an inspiration to me over the years, and you are wise beyond your years. It has been amazing to watch God work through you as you grew from a young staff therapist to Director of Rehabilitation, to Regional Clinical Director. I refer to you as a hungry spiritual leader who is eager to help others and wants to make a positive and meaningful difference in the lives that you encounter. You have proven to be an amazing mentor and educator to our therapists. You are highly respected, and you inspire others. Thank you for your steadfast commitment to excellence in everything that you undertake.

I cannot thank you enough for all that you do to serve our patients, employees, and strategic partners, and for your unwavering commitment to our company. Your role as a Regional Clinical Director is truly a relentless position, and you have consistently gone above and beyond to ensure our overall success. You have played a pivotal role in helping me foster a strong culture of faith, teamwork, and excellence. I cannot thank you enough for your contributions, for the personal sacrifices you have made for our Company, and for your selflessness!

I am honored to have you as a leader and friend and to call you my brother in Christ. You are someone that I respect, admire, and love.

I pray that God continues to bless your work and your life with significance, and with your collaboration and support, I know we will continue to touch people's lives and advance God's kingdom in a manner that brings glory and honor to Him.

Congratulations on this significant milestone!

With sincere gratitude,

Steven L. Cole

It is with profound gratitude and heartfelt admiration that I celebrate your incredible journey with Mid South Rehab Service, Inc. As you mark 20 extraordinary years with our faith-based organization, I want to take a moment to honor the remarkable impact you’ve made along the way.

From the very outset of your career with us at just 30 years old, it was clear that you were destined for greatness. Witnessing your evolution from a treating staff occupational therapist to Director of Rehab, then Regional Clinical Director, and ultimately to your esteemed role as Vice President of HIM and Compliance has been nothing short of inspiring. Your professional journey is a testament to your dedication, exceptional talent, and the deepening faith that guides you—qualities that reflect your true character.

As the leader of our HIM and Compliance department, you have set a standard of excellence that resonates throughout the entire organization. You’ve built a rock-solid team, some of whom have been with you for over 20 years, fostering an environment of encouragement and inspiration. Your servant leadership style motivates your team to go above and beyond in meeting departmental and organizational goals, and your unwavering support has made a profound difference in their lives.

Your unwavering commitment to your professional development is evident in your decision to pursue a Master’s degree in Health Information Management at UMMC while managing your day-to-day responsibilities. Your determination to grow in your role is commendable, and the personal sacrifices you’ve made to achieve these goals, such as time away from family and the added workload, resonate deeply with all of us and serve as a source of inspiration.

I hold immense respect for you—not only as a leader within our organization but also as a cherished sister in Christ. Your steadfast dedication and countless sacrifices for our company are profoundly appreciated. While I may never fully repay you for your contributions, please know that you are truly valued and loved.

I pray that God continues to bless your life abundantly—professionally, personally, and spiritually. Your unwavering support has been instrumental in helping me build a company rooted in faith, one that seeks to honor God in all our endeavors.

As you step into this new decade, I pray that God enriches your work, family, and life with profound significance. May He guide us in our daily walks, illuminating our paths as we serve others, just as you have served this company and the customers we represent—with character, compassion, integrity, and passion. Your actions inspire us all to strive for excellence.
