Elevating Our Impact: Learning from AmBrea Davis's Award-Winning Approach

AmBrea Davis, Registered Dietitian (RD), at Memorial Hospital in Biloxi, has been honored with the prestigious 2025 Recognized Young Dietitian of the Year award by the Mississippi Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (MS-AND). This award celebrates the dedication and impact of emerging dietitians that AmBrea truly embodies.

Journey

AmBrea’s path to becoming a dietitian is one of genuine passion and personal connection. "Growing up, especially in Mississippi, I saw a lot of people struggling with health issues," she shares. "That, combined with my own experience with an eating disorder, made me realize the importance of dietetics." This deep understanding fuels her commitment to providing compassionate and effective care.

Making a Real Difference

As the sole dietitian at Memorial Hospital in Biloxi, AmBrea plays a crucial role in improving the lives of her patients. From educating them on managing chronic conditions to providing critical nutrition support in the ICU, her work is both diverse and impactful. "The most rewarding part of my job is definitely the impact and improvement I can have on people's lives," she says. "It's about giving them the confidence and knowledge they need to live healthier."

Her passion shines through in her dedication to accessible nutrition care. "When I first learned about the award, I was truly humbled," AmBrea explains. "For me, it's not just about the recognition, but about the opportunity to further advocate for accessible and effective nutrition care. I'm passionate about making a real difference in people's lives through practical and sustainable dietary changes."

A Mentor and Role Model

Interestingly, AmBrea credits her success, in part, to her role as a preceptor for interns. "They see me with patients, and I think they recognize how much I care about the patients," she notes. This highlights her dedication to not only patient care but also to nurturing the next generation of dietitians.
