North Mississippi Health Services
Regional health system running eight hospitals, 70-plus clinics and four nursing homes across 24 counties in north Mississippi and northwest Alabama.
North Mississippi Health Services is a regional health care system serving 24 counties across north Mississippi and northwest Alabama. It operates eight North Mississippi Medical Center hospitals, with NMMC-Tupelo as the flagship and the site of the only Level 2 trauma centre in north Mississippi. Alongside hospital care, the system runs more than 70 primary and specialty care clinics, four nursing homes and more than 120 convenient locations in total, handling roughly 1.3 million patient visits a year.
The organisation employs more than 7,000 teammates and over 800 doctors. Clinical services span preventive and primary care, advanced cardiac care, cancer treatment, neuroscience and neurosurgery, orthopaedics, women and children's services and complex surgery. Emergency and trauma capability at NMMC-Tupelo places the system at the front line of acute and critical care in the region.
Digital and research work runs alongside the clinical side: telehealth services extend access into local communities, while the MyChart patient portal lets patients manage appointments, records, test results, medications and communication with their care teams. The system also funds clinical research teams.
North Mississippi Health Services states a mission of continuously improving the health of people in the region. Its stated core values are compassion, accountability, respect, excellence, teamwork and a commitment to innovation, and it describes its work as community-oriented, delivered with neighbours and friends to make care easier to access locally.
