Physicians at St. Bernards Medical Center in Jonesboro awarded Dr. Utibe Ndebbio their 2024 Living the Mission Award, an honor given to a doctor who best represents the St. Bernards mission of providing Christ-like healing. The award, announced Dec. 9 during the hospital’s annual medical staff meeting, involves a selective process that begins with nominations submitted by any of St. Bernards’ 4,700 employees. A selection committee pares the nominees to three before more than 200 physicians vote on a winner by secret ballot.
Ndebbio joined St. Bernards in 2022.
