Jefferson Davis Community Hospital ECF Welcomes Amanda Jones, OTA DOR

We are thrilled to announce the hiring of our new, full-time Director of Rehab and Occupational Therapy Assistant, Amanda Jones, OTA. She will be serving at Jefferson Davis Community Hospital ECF.

Amanda received her Associate of Applied Science degree as an Occupational Therapy Assistant from Pearl River Community College. She chose occupational therapy because she enjoys helping the geriatric population. Growing up, Amanda watched her mother nursing at their local Skilled Nursing facility. Amanda knew from an early age she wanted to work with geriatric patients. Amanda says that she counts it an honor to have a hand in working with what could be the greatest generation of all time - she loves listening to their words of wisdom and amazing stories from years gone by. With a servant’s heart like hers, we know she is ready to take on the occupational therapy needs of the community, and we look forward to seeing her patients’ recovery journeys.

Amanda is married to Bradferd Jones, and they have four children. Jacob is 17 years old, Gracie is 15, Mackayla is 10, and Leroy is 6. Their children attend West Marion and are involved in a variety of extracurricular activities. The family attends Holly Springs Baptist Church. When Amanda isn’t working, she enjoys spending time with family, playing the piano, shopping, and watching TV.

Mid South Rehab values continuing education and promoting exceptional leaders. We are excited to have Amanda as a partner. We look forward to many opportunities for her to further her education and specialize in certification and training. We know she will have opportunities to improve our company and our patients in these new roles.

Employee Support Center Day 2023

On Wednesday, September 13, we celebrated the employees at the Employee Support Center. What an incredible day it was! All departments were treated to movie theater popcorn all day long. We got to leave our offices to play games for prizes in the conference room. T-shirts were made especially for this day and given to all ESC employees! For lunch, we had a choice of lasagnas and Greek salad from Olive Garden. Our dessert was two different cheesecakes - one chocolate and one vanilla. If that wasn't enough, at 4 p.m. an ice cream truck (Chillin on the Rez) showed up with free treats for everyone, and we were allowed to leave early but were still paid for the whole day! A special THANK YOU goes out to Mr. Steven Cole for his generosity! We are truly blessed!!
