At Medely, we love celebrating our team members.
We sat down with Melissa Smith from our sales team to talk about her experience working for Medely and why she’s passionate about helping nurses and health professionals.
Melissa Smith, account executive manager, has played a major role in Medely’s expansion. Like most of our Medely team, she was inspired to be a part of helping nurses and health professionals avoid burnout and achieve work-life balance while also helping facilities combat staffing gaps that can affect patient care. “I joined Medely so I could help make a difference in the healthcare space,” Melissa shares. “Who helps the helpers? We do.”
Combatting staffing shortages and burnout
After witnessing how disruptive being short-staffed can be, Melissa is passionate about connecting more facilities with Medely and helping them keep their team running smoothly and efficiently.
“I have seen Medely be able to give a facility’s existing staff much-needed time off, have seen facilities be able to get back to focusing on patient care, and have seen entire health systems be able to operate more efficiently. It has truly been magical to witness.”
Passion for helping nurses and health professionals
Melissa’s passion for changing the healthcare industry stems from her personal connection to the health professionals in her own life. “I have always had family members that have been in healthcare, but I never really truly understood how many things go wrong when they’re even one less person down for that day, “Melissa shares. “So, to be able to present them with this option to have so many more hands on deck whenever they need it…just really makes you feel good at the end of the day. And by helping them, you’re also helping their patients.”
Getting a behind-the-scenes look at the challenges facilities are facing has helped Melissa continue to work toward ending staffing shortages that can throw the whole facility off-balance. Learn more about how she’s accomplishing this in her full video on our Instagram!

“Why would you want to leave something to chance when you can easily have a Medely professional come in and just take all of that stress off of you?”
