We are pleased to announce the release of the Spring 2025 edition of CovingtonCares, a publication of Covington County Hospital. In this issue, we are proud to highlight the opening of Smith County Emergency Hospital and other inspiring stories and patient testimonials. This edition features a testimonial that captures a patient's positive experience in the swing bed unit and the exceptional level of care she received. We also include an in-depth discussion with Nurse Supervisor Dana Graves, RN, who shares insights into her team’s compassionate approach to nursing. The importance of physical therapy services as a vital resource for both patients and nurses at CCH is explored, emphasizing their significance to patient recovery and functionality upon returning home. Our CCH clinics continue to grow with the recent addition of Dr. David Jameson, MD, at Express Care Sumrall. With three decades of experience in urgent care and family medicine, Dr. Jameson is a tremendous asset to the Sumrall community. We are proud to operate eight clinics conveniently located throughout Covington, Simpson, Smith, and Lamar counties. Additionally, we introduce you to our Pharmacist, Dr. Jennifer Patterson, PharmD, who plays an essential role in ensuring patient safety and care through our pharmacy services. We are particularly excited about the opening of Smith County Emergency Hospital. This important project, which has successfully established emergency services for the residents of Smith County, was completed in a remarkable seven months. While we are unable to name all of those who played a part in this accomplishment, we would like to extend our gratitude to Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith for her vital support in making this project a reality. The establishment of this facility will have a profound impact on Smith County – enhancing access to quality care and contributing to job creation, which will positively influence the community as a whole. We sincerely hope that this edition fosters a deeper appreciation for the dedicated professionals whose expertise and unwavering commitment play a crucial role in promoting the health and well-being of our patients and the communities we have the privilege to serve. Thank you for choosing Covington County Hospital. It is our honor to serve your healthcare needs. Gregg Gibbes, CEO MESSAGE FROM THE CEO
