NEW HIRE: Amanda Lee, SLP

We are thrilled to announce the hiring of our new, full-time speech language pathologist, Amanda Lee, SLP. Amanda will be serving as our Director of Rehab Services for Azalea Gardens Nursing Center in Wiggins, Mississippi, as well as providing quality care for the speech needs of residents.

Amanda graduated from The University of Alabama with a Bachelor of Science in Communication Science and Disorders, and she received her Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of Motevallo.

We feel that Amanda's unique skillset as as a speech therapist will align perfectly with the needs of the Azalea Gardens community, as she takes special interest in gerontology, tracheostomy and speaking valves, and dysphagia. Amanda is VitalStim certified and Trach and Vent Care certified as well.

Amanda has recently relocated from Tennessee, and she, her husband, Alex, and their pets are thrilled to be closer to family. We are honored to welcome Amanda to the Mid South family, and we know that her leadership ability coupled with her clinical background will make her a wonderful asset to the Azalea Gardens community.

NEW HIRE: Jeremy Bennett, DPT

We are thrilled to announce the hiring of a full-time physical therapist and Director of Rehab for Marion General Hospital - Jeremy Bennett, DPT. We know that Jeremy is prepared to take on the physical therapy needs of your community, and we can’t wait to see how his patients recover.

Jeremy received his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from University of Mississippi Medical Center, and he is certified in Integrative Dry Needling. He also received a specialization in Strength and Conditioning at a time in his career in which he was seeing many high school and college athletes. Jeremy has a well-rounded background in a variety of clinical settings, but he has spent most of his time serving patients in outpatient care or acute care settings. In order to fit his scheduling needs in years past, Jeremy has also spent three years in home health care. Now, Jeremy is thrilled to be back in an outpatient and hospital clinical setting, seeing patients for a variety of needs and conditions.

We are so excited to introduce you to Jeremy and add him to our Mid South family. We know that he will become an integral part not only of our team, but also of your facility as well.
