UMMC nurse manager marks 25 years at medical center

A commercial for the University of Mississippi Medical Center inspired Ebony Gaston to pursue a dream when she was a child. Twenty-five years later, Gaston remains at UMMC, where she works with patients, according to the medical center.

Gaston is now a nurse manager in UMMC’s ambulatory radiation oncology clinic. She leads a team caring for patients throughout their cancer journeys.
