From field hospitals for COVID-19 patients to record-breaking enrollment and research, the Medical Center has experienced another year of challenges – and celebrations. With the first birthday of the Kathy and Joe Sanderson Tower at Children’s of Mississippi, 100 clinical trials activated, and more than 3,000 students and residents at its seven schools, the Medical Center made advances in all three of its missions – health care, education and research.

Children’s of Mississippi patient Jordan Morgan of Clinton, a former Mississippi Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Champion, will be starting the second half of his freshman year at Hinds Community College.

If it’s been at least a year since your last doctor’s visit, start the New Year well with an annual wellness visit. UMMC physicians discuss the benefits of these preventive care checks and what you can expect when you enter the exam room.

Several interesting events are scheduled for the upcoming week at the Medical Center.

Medical Center leadership is proud to acknowledge those employees who will celebrate service anniversaries during the week of January 3-9.
