BALDWYN, Miss.—Sarah Burns, a certified nursing assistant, has been selected by her peers as Baldwyn Nursing Facility’s most recent Employee of the Month.

Burns graduated from Kearsley High School in Flint, Michigan, in 2016 and moved to Mississippi shortly after graduation.

In Burns’ nomination, co-workers wrote, “She always goes above and beyond for the residents and to help her staff. She is always a team player and never complains. She is always so happy and singing.”
