BALDWYN, Miss.—Alanesha Pugh has been selected by her peers as Baldwyn Nursing Facility’s most recent Employee of the Month.

Pugh, who works in a lead role in Food and Nutrition Services, joined the staff in 2020. She previously attended Itawamba Community College. Pugh comes from a large family that includes five sisters, two brothers, 12 nieces, eight nephews and a great-nephew.

Pugh says her “work family” is the best part of her job at Baldwyn Nursing Facility.

In Pugh’s nomination, co-workers wrote that she has grown tremendously in her role during her short tenure. “She consistently covers open shifts and checks in to help on her days off. She stayed the whole week of the ice storm on site to be available if needed,” they wrote. “She is a hard worker who steps up when the going gets tough, going above and beyond to make Food and Nutrition Services run smoothly. She is a very kind, considerate and caring person to her team members.”
