Jackson Parish Hospital (JPH) is proud to recognize Melissa Porter, LPN, as the ‘WOW’ Award Recipient for the month of March! As a dedicated Clinic LPN and Informatics Nurse at JPH, she is an essential part of our team, going above and beyond every day.

Melissa has a key role in training new clinic providers and clinic staff in navigating and utilizing our organization’s electronic medical record software. She is also very involved in the community, particularly with the parish schools where she facilitates the school telemedicine encounters, serving as a liaison between the school nurse and the practitioner. She is also instrumental in coordinating and assembling students, faculty, and clinic personnel each year for Jackson Parish Schools’ annual high school physicals.

Melissa regularly works alongside Ryan Grimmett, FNP, and Dr. William J. Slusher while also stepping in wherever needed, serving as a backup for prior authorizations, podiatry nursing, and our Children’s Vaccine Program. No matter where she’s helping, her dedication and versatility make a lasting impact.

“Thank you, Melissa Porter, LPN, for your hard work and commitment to providing the very best care to our community!” – Jackson Parish Hospital
