Meet Amy Cawthon with Hattiesburg Clinic Purchasing
Meet Amy Cawthon, manager of Hattiesburg Clinic Purchasing. Cawthon has been with Hattiesburg Clinic for nearly ten years and plays a key role in supporting the day-to-day operations that keep the clinic running smoothly.
Purchasing is responsible for acquiring the goods that support every location of Hattiesburg Clinic, from medical supplies and pharmaceuticals to furniture and office equipment. As manager, Cawthon oversees daily operations while providing guidance and support to the buyers and warehouse staff.
“I love that I get to work with all departments across the clinic,” Cawthon shares. “It gives me a unique perspective on how the clinic functions as a whole and allows me to build strong relationships across the organization.” She adds the best part of her role is the people she collaborates with and the knowledge she gains from her experiences.

Born and raised in Hattiesburg, Cawthon is a proud alumna of Oak Grove High School and The University of Southern Mississippi.
