Awards at UMMC

UMMC has several awards that provide recognition to employees who exemplify our core values of integrity, professionalism, compassion, fairness, courage, equality, leadership, excellence and continuous improvement. 

Our goal is to reward employees organization-wide who go the extra mile each day as they help us create a healthier Mississippi. Acknowledging those who do more than is required helps to build a strong organizational culture of appreciation.

To recognize co-workers for their contributions, select the ‘nominate’ button next to the appropriate award.

UMMC AWARDS

AWARDS winners go above and beyond the call of duty. Any UMMC employee is eligible to be nominated for doing more than the job requires in a BIG way. Let's build each other up, while building our culture of recognition. The UMMC AWARDS process is currently being updated and nominations will be available at a later date.
