Clark Bearden Presented with Cheers from Your Peers
The WOW! Committee is pleased to recognize Clark Bearden, a Patient Representative at Hattiesburg Clinic, as this month’s recipient of the Cheers from Your Peers award. This award is given to employees who exemplify Hattiesburg Clinic’s values – Commitment, Compassion, Fairness, Integrity, Respect and Vision.
Bearden was nominated for his exceptional dedication to patient care and outstanding customer service. Bailey Bryant, marketing coordinator with Hattiesburg Clinic, witnessed his kindness firsthand.
“While waiting near the entrance, I observed Clark going above and beyond for our patients. He greeted everyone as they walked up and told everyone to have a good day as they were leaving. He asked elderly patients if they needed help to their cars, and he was always ready to help patients out of their cars in the drive thru.”
As a Patient Representative, Bearden plays a crucial role in ensuring a welcoming and supportive environment for patients. His position requires compassion, professionalism and the ability to handle complex situations with poise—qualities he demonstrates daily. “This level of customer service and kindness can be rare, but Clark never missed a beat, and that deserves recognition,” Bryant added.
Bearden’s consistent attentiveness and willingness to go the extra mile make a lasting impact on both patients and staff. His actions embody the clinic’s commitment to compassionate care, and they do not go unnoticed.
Thank you, Clark, for your hard work, kindness and dedication to our patients. We appreciate all that you do!
