The Millsaps Majors women's basketball team recently spent an afternoon at the Methodist Specialty Care Center - a division of Methodist Rehabilitation Center (MRC) - in Flowood visiting with residents.

Elizabeth Sigafoose has volunteered at MRC ever since former Majors teammate Janice Okeke volunteered there and encouraged teammates to check it out. She did and has been coming back ever since. The senior is now paying it forward encouraging her teammates to come and visit with the residents.

MRC is one of only 16 long-term care facilities for residents with traumatic brain injuries in the U.S., and the only one in Mississippi. The 60 bed facility furnishes residents with their own private rooms. All but one of the residents are completely dependent on a wheelchair. Residents of the facility suffered from a variety of conditions - from injuries due to auto accidents or gunshot wounds, to diseases such as ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) or cerebral palsy.

MRC gives their residents their choice of an Ipad, laptop, or desktop that is customized to each resident's needs. This allows the residents to easily communicate with friends and family. The dedicated staff of MRC works with each resident individually, following a rehabilitation program specifically designed for each patient's needs.

On Monday, Sigafoose was joined by fellow senior Lovie Love, sophomore Samantha Perez, and freshmen Beverly Holmes, and Miah Brooks.

The girls visited with five residents, talking about movies, sports, and other topics of the day, and got to know the men and women of MRC. The girls told them about playing for the Majors, followed by heated debates on their favorite NBA teams.
