On January 17, Mission Health and MAHEC recognized team
members at the 2018 Spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Awards Ceremony who
carry on Dr. King’s spirit, leadership and vision to influence unity, equality,
equity and justice in both the workplace and their communities. The annual
awards ceremony is a partnership between Mission Health and MAHEC that
celebrates diversity and inclusion in healthcare.
Brooks Ann McKinney is Mission Health’s 2018 Spirit of MLK Award
recipient. Brooks Ann has focused on the medically and mentally fragile,
homeless and underserved individuals for nearly 20 years as a strong advocate
for improving our population’s access to healthcare and resources throughout
these communities. Brooks Ann sees beyond the individual standing on the corner
holding a sign for food and works to provide a way out and ensures they are
treated with dignity. 
Congratulations to MAHEC’s recipients: Olivia Dorsey
(Information Technology) of the Emerging Leader Award, and JoAnne Edgerton
(Clinical Services), pictured below with MAHEC president and CEO Dr. Jeffery
