Harris and Swain Hospital names 2023 Mercy Award winner

Harris Regional and Swain Community Hospital recently announced that Missi Bowman has been recognized as the facility’s 2023 Mercy Award winner.

The Mercy Award recognizes one employee from each of Lifepoint Health’s facilities who profoundly touches the lives of others and best represents the spirit and values on which the company was founded.

Bowman has been employed as a registered nurse at the hospitals since 2017. According to a press release sent out by the hospitals, her passion and desire to learn and grow in the nursing field is evident. Within a year of hire she was selected as recipient of the Daisy Award after receiving a touching nomination for the compassionate care she provided for a Hospice patient and providing much needed reassurance for the family members.

Each facility winner, including Bowman, will be considered for Lifepoint’s 2023 companywide Mercy Award. The companywide winner will be announced this summer and honored during a ceremony in Nashville in August.
