JACKSON, Miss. —

University of Mississippi Medical Center Healthcare workers received love and support as they were coming and going to work.

“It’s almost electric out here. It’s wonderful. The Mississippi Highway Patrol just came through and so did Jackson Police. Classic cars come through asking everybody to honk their horns. We are waving and really excited to be out here today,” said Tawni Bassden, executive assistant to UMMC’s CEO.

Leaders said the COVID-19 pandemic has made their job more challenging as thousands of people have been affected by the deadly virus.

“We have additional masks and things you see on folks all around us. That adds an additional layer of work that must be done. Everybody is being extra careful,” said Dr. LouAnn Woodward, UMMC Vice Chancellor.

“It is kind of hard. We wear these masks every day and practice good hand washing. It’s a trying time but we are getting through it,” Bassden said.

Medical center leaders said encouragement and appreciation goes a very long way.

“We are used to taking care of the sickest of the sick here at UMMC. This is different obviously and hearing ‘thank you’ and getting a little bit of motivation for folks on the front line always makes a difference,” said UMMC CEO Kevin Cook.

Some healthcare workers who were off work today say they made sure they came to support and appreciate their colleagues.

As the number of COVID-19 patients in the state climbs, health care workers are on the front lines battling the virus and working to save people every day, UMMC officials said.
