Tyson Foods was named the 2020 Industry of the Year.
"Over the years their industry operations have grown significantly, all the way from the chicken egg to the table. They currently have 686 team members and have always been very employee oriented. This past year was no different," commented Directory Tiffany Wright.
"We saw other plants throughout the U.S. shut down, but not our Tyson Foods. They were proactive when it came to keeping their employees safe. They hired a COVID nurse, installed barriers in their beak room and training center, they provide masks for all employees, and conduct temperature checks. Furthermore, they do random weekly COVID testing. Tyson Foods has a long- standing relationship with the community. Mark Avery and team are always willing to help our organizations and community events."

"SoutheastHEALTH Center of Stoddard County has been predominantly active in our Dexter community. They not only care about our citizens health, but the community they live and work.
In 2020, they were faced with a challenge like none other - the COVID-19 pandemic.
They worked closely with the Stoddard County Health Department and emergency response agencies regarding testing and distribution of public health information.
Even a global pandemic could not stop SoutheastHEALTH. They continued to invest in our community in 2020. They opened an Occupational Medicine clinic to serve our region. The Occupational Medicine team is dedicated to helping employees return to work rapidly and safely and they have already enrolled more than 20 companies in the program.
They established an Orthopedics and Sports Medicine clinic in Dexter. The clinic staff is skilled in the treatment of more than two dozen sports- related conditions and they became the official Orthopedic Medicine provider for the Dexter Bearcats."
