With 638 licensed beds, Baptist Cancer Center-Jackson, a six-level tower housing the Cardiovascular Center and the Baby-Friendly USA-accredited Baptist for Women, the hospital offers comprehensive quality care. In 2023, the hospital was designated a Level III trauma and primary pediatric center and a Mississippi burn center.
