I chose South Central because I can make an impact in my community.
Alison Windham, RN, has been a member of the South Central Regional Medical Center family for 7 years. Alison, who is a Jones County native, works in the Emergency Department as a Registered Nurse. She is a graduate of Northeast Jones High School and Jones College Associate Degree Nursing program.
As an Emergency Department (ED) nurse, Alison provides care for acutely sick patients. She stated, “In the ED, we offer a wide variety of services for all individuals. Services may include providing medications, starting IVs, treatment for wounds, or stabilizing the patient to admit for further treatment. I love how we never know what issue we will treat in the ED. With the unexpected, we always have to rely on each other. ”
South Central’s Emergency Department is staffed 24 hours a day with specially trained medical emergency personnel. The facility has a comprehensive triage system that ensures the patients with the most serious conditions are treated first. The new emergency department opened in December of 2019 and has 21 rooms, 6 fast-track treatment rooms, and 3 trauma rooms, as well as additional services to provide the highest quality of care for patients in a timely manner.
Alison stated, “It has always been a passion of mine to become a nurse. When my grandfather had some health issues, it just clarified that for me this is what I am supposed to do. Today, in a way, I am helping take care of extended family and friends. I chose South Central because I can make an impact in my community.”
