Covington County Hospital - August 2022 Director Spotlight

15

August 2022 Director Spotlight:

Mike Williamson, PT, DPT, ATC

Covington County Hospital welcomes our new Therapy Services Director, Michael Williamson!

Williamson has 30 years of experience in therapy services, having helped start the sports medicine program at Hattiesburg Clinic in 2002. He studied pre-PT at Pearl River Community College and received an athletic training and secondary education degree at USM. He attended PT school at the University of Mississippi Medical Center and, in 2013, received his Doctorate in PT from UMMC.

“Our goal,” says Williamson, “is to update our facilities and equipment to better serve our communities. In addition, we want to provide more opportunities for patients to receive care locally.” 

New therapy equipment options available include the Game Ready cold system for enhanced injury and surgery recovery that is highly effective in decreasing pain and swelling and increasing blood flow. The departments will be able to treat total knee and rotator cuff repair and all athletic injuries. 

“I have enjoyed meeting and getting to know the staff at all three hospitals, and I’ve been impressed with how each person I have met puts the patient first. I grew up in the small town of Prentiss, and what attracted me to Covington and Simpson Counties is the community feeling,” said Williamson.  

CCH Therapy Services can be reached at 601-698-0298, with appointments available from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday-Friday.
