When illness or injury turn everyday moments into uphill battles, there are medical professionals who step in with skill, compassion and unwavering dedication. 

Murfreesboro Medical Clinic is proud to highlight these medical professionals with the MMC Heart for Healing Award.

A grateful patient wrote us about their three-week stay at Ascension St. Thomas Hospital. When they were finally allowed to shower, nurse Makayla Easterwood went above and beyond—washing and styling their hair with such care that Mom had one less worry. Even when she wasn’t assigned to them, Makayla used her own breaks to stop by, check in, and bring comfort.
Her kindness restored dignity and hope when it was needed most. That's why Makayla Easterwood of Ascension St. Thomas Hospital for Heart for the Healing!

Congratulations to Dr. Michael Herelevic, an internist at Murfreesboro Medical Clinic. A trusted physician making a real difference in Rutherford County.
