TUPELO, Miss. (Press Release) -– Brigitta Walker, speech-language pathologist at the Outpatient Rehabilitation Center, has been selected as North Mississippi Medical Center’s Employee of the Month for October.

Walker has been with NMMC for 23 years. She previously worked in NMMC’s Rehabilitation Institute and Acute Rehabilitation. A graduate of Houston High School, she earned her bachelor’s degree in communication disorders from the University of Mississippi and her master’s degree in speech pathology from the University of Southwestern Louisiana (now Louisiana-Lafayette).

In her nomination, Walker was described as compassionate, trustworthy and an excellent leader.

“Brigitta is a goal-driven leader who maintains a productive environment and confidently motivates, mobilizes and coaches employees to meet high performance standards,” a coworker wrote in her nomination. “She is a resourceful team player who excels at building trusting relationships with her colleagues.”

“Brigitta Walker is the most competent, compassionate speech-language pathologist that I have ever known or had the pleasure of calling a ‘co-worker,’” another coworker wrote. “Regardless of her full work schedule and home responsibilities, she is always pleasant and ready to help in any way she can.”

Walker says the most rewarding part of her job is that she gets to help others.

“What I love most about my job is the fact that I have been afforded the opportunity to share the knowledge and skills that God has given me to help other people on a daily basis,” Walker said. “I realize that everything I have and everything I am is a gift from God and I am able and blessed to share that gift to make a positive impact in the lives of others.”

Walker lives in Verona with her three children; Camille, Kendall and Chloe. She attends Mt. Sinai Baptist Church in Tupelo, where she serves as minister of music.
