Compassus hospice care coordinator Whitney Kelley has been selected as a statewide finalist for the Sales and Marketing Professionals’ 2024 Mississippi Pinnacle Awards, in particular, the Bud Kirkpatrick Professional Award. We are thrilled Kelley is a finalist for an award that honors excellence, professionalism, and outstanding achievement in sales, marketing, and community engagement and showcases the highest level of public relations talent in the state of Mississippi. Whitney Kelley, hospice care consultant at Compassus for 12 years, will be honored at the awards gala at Lake Terrace Convention Center on April 9th at 6pm.
“Where my passion lies are the patients and their families, so I try to find that one thing (they’re passionate about) and give that back to the families” Kelley said. “(That way, they are getting) as much quality time with their loved one as they can. A lot of times, I’ve been told that’s what drives people to call me, is knowing that is what’s most important to me, and not necessarily a number or a ‘sale.’ To be honest, I was raised in this realm – my mom worked in hospice when I was young, and I started volunteering when I was 12 years old, and I’ve always had a love for the elderly.”
