TUPELO ⢠Being prepared for anything is no stranger to Patti Parker.
In her 20 years serving the United Way of Greater Monroe County, sheâs handled the ebbs and flows of funding, changes in staffing and operations, a shifting nonprofit landscape and a massive disaster recovery effort that affected her own family, which had lost its home in the Smithville tornado of 2011.
But when she joined United Way of Northeast Mississippi in March 2020, she could not have foreseen what the year had in store.
Only days after starting her new job and the merger of the two United Way chapters, the pandemic forced the office to close and the staff to work from home. United Way staff also realized quickly that they needed to find new ways to reach donors without employee group meetings, which has long been their primary method of fundraising.

TUPELO ⢠North Mississippi Medical Center has made the 2021 Fortune/IBM Watson Health 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals list, naming the top-performing U.S. hospitals for inpatient cardiovascular services.
This yearâs study included 980 U.S. hospitals with cardiovascular services. Based on comparisons between the study winners and a peer group of similar hospitals in the study, the winners delivered better outcomes while operating more efficiently and at a lower cost.
Extrapolating the results of this yearâs study, if all Medicare inpatients received the same level of care as those treated in the award-winning facilities more than 7,000 additional lives and over $1.6 billion could be saved annually, and more than 5,000 additional bypass and angioplasty patients could be complication-free.
