Jeremy Mowell was recently named South Mississippi State Hospital’s first quarter Employee of the Quarter. Mowell has served as an active treatment technician at the Purvis facility since June 2010.
As an ATT, Mowell’s responsibilities include continually monitoring patient care, leading or observing patient education groups, documenting patient activity throughout the day, observing and assisting with recreation therapy, among other duties.
Mowell, currently a Lamar County resident, is a native of Rock Island, Illinois. He moved to Mississippi when he was 17 and graduated from Oak Grove High School in 1999. Mowell attended Pearl River Community College, certifying as a nursing assistant in 2008, and in 2009, he became certified in surgical technology.
“Jeremy acts in a professional manner; treats others respectfully and carries himself well,” his nominator wrote in the recommendation of Mowell for the Employee of the Quarter honor. “He treats patients with respect and presents himself in a calm, caring manner.”
Before coming to work at the State hospital in Purvis, Mowell worked at Hattiesburg Health and Rehab as a CNA on that facility’s Alzheimer’s unit.
“The patients and the staff here at SMSH truly are one team,” Mowell said. “It is so exciting and fulfilling helping others make a difference in their lives.”
Away from work, Mowell enjoys spending time with his wife, Ana, family, and his dogs, Roxee and Boudreaux, as well as trying new foods. He hopes to further his education in medical coding or in nursing and would also like to buy a house.
“SMSH is unique in the fact that we go above and beyond for our patients,” said Mowell. “I greatly appreciate being a part of the team at SMSH.”
