TUPELO, Mississippi—North Mississippi Medical Center recently presented a BEE (Beyond Exceptional Expectations) Award to Kearsee Foster, case manager on 3 West.

A coworker nominated Foster for helping facilitate a patient’s transfer to Jackson for an emergency procedure when she was not working. “Kearsee was at church and stepped out to take our call and help,” he wrote. “She kept us informed despite being off work and at home. This is only one of the many times that Kearsee has gone above and beyond for her patients, even though she is sometimes not in the facility. She is a definite asset to 3 West and NMMC.”

Foster is a licensed clinical social worker who joined NMMC’s Case Management team in 2015. She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg and a master’s degree in social work from the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. She resides in Tupelo.

The BEE Award is given to a deserving caregiver each month at NMMC. For more information, call (662) 377-3431 or email BEEAwards@nmhs.net.
