Main ContentChildren's Referring Physicians
Children’s of Mississippi welcomes physician referrals and offers several easy ways to make a referral and transfer or admit a patient to Batson Children’s Hospital.
We have experienced specialists and subspecialists covering a broad scope of pediatric care. It is our policy to keep referring physicians fully up to date on their patients’ progress, and discharge patients back to their providers with complete information for effective continuity of care.

Get our Mobile Referral App
Physicians can download the UMMC 4Referrals mobile app for Apple® or Android® mobile devices. The app lists current UMMC providers by specialty and allows referring physicians and their staff to handle referrals for clinic appointments, critical care triage, emergency care, inpatient transfers, and to contact on-call providers. It can also be filtered to show Children’s providers only.
