Please join us in welcoming our newest Speech-Language Pathologist, Molly, to the team! 💙

Molly recently moved back home to Jackson from Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio, where she served patients with excellence and compassion. Jackson has always held a special place in her heart—she grew up here before heading to Baylor University for her undergraduate studies. She then earned her Master’s degree in Speech Pathology from University of Texas at Dallas.

Molly specializes in working with patients with head and neck cancer and is especially passionate about helping individuals with total laryngectomies find their new “voice.” She feels honored to walk alongside her patients during such an important part of their journey and is dedicated to helping them regain confidence and quality of life.

When she’s not at work, Molly enjoys spending time with her husband, their two children, and their golden retriever, Maggie. 🐾

We are so excited to have Molly serving our community—welcome to the team, Molly! 🎉

🎉 Welcome, Sarah! 🎉

We’re excited to introduce Sarah to our SLP division! Originally from St. Augustine, FL, Sarah earned her bachelor’s degree in communication sciences and disorders from the University of South Florida before completing a master’s degree in Speech and Hearing Sciences with an emphasis in early intervention for children who are deaf and hard of hearing at the University of Southern Mississippi.

After graduation, Sarah spent four years at Magnolia Speech School as a listening and spoken language teacher in their youngest classroom and as a part-time early interventionist. In 2023, she continued her professional journey by earning her master’s degree in Communicative Disorders from Jackson State University.

Sarah is passionate about supporting deaf and hard of hearing children and partnering with families to help them reach meaningful communication goals. She’s thrilled to be working with our patients here at UMMC! She is currently taking new patients both at Sanderson Clinic and at Lakeland Medical Building where she serves as SLP for the Cochlear Implant Team.

Outside of work, Sarah and her husband Jake recently welcomed their first daughter, Sutton, in September. 💕

Please join us in welcoming Sarah to the team!

🌟 Growing Our Expertise for the Children of MS 🌟

Three of our CHDP therapists recently completed an intensive 4-day training in the SOS (Sequential-Oral-Sensory) Approach to Feeding, developed by Dr. Kay Toomey.

The SOS Approach looks beyond picky eating to understand the "why" behind feeding challenges—addressing the underlying physical, sensory, and emotional factors so children can feel safe, confident, and successful with eating.

We’re proud to bring this whole-child, evidence-based approach back to the families we serve.
