TUPELO, Mississippi—North Mississippi Medical Center recently presented the BEE (Beyond Exceptional Expectations) Award to Clarissa Gamble, a nursing assistant with the Resource Pool.

Gamble was nominated by a patient on her unit for delivering extraordinary care. “She spoke calmly, never getting an attitude or angry,” he wrote. “She would bring us water and ice. She came and assisted the nurses in changing beds and cleaning up. She showed teamwork and was happy to help. We had awesome care. My mom is elderly, and she brought her food. I’m thankful to be here and receive this awesome care surrounded by happy smiles.”

Gamble originally joined the NMMC team in 2010 and worked on 3 South and in the Resource Pool and Home Health. After a four-year break in service, she returned to NMMC in 2018 to work in the Resource Pool. She attended Blue Mountain High School and currently resides in Tupelo.

The BEE Award is given to a deserving caregiver each month at NMMC. Winners receive a certificate and pin, as well as flowers donated by Bishop’s Flower Shop. For more information, call (662) 377-3431 or email BEEAwards@nmhs.net.
