BACKGROUND: Named the No. 1 hospital in Mississippi seven years in a row by U.S. News & World Report and included on Becker’s Hospital Review’s 2025 “Great Hospitals in America” list, Mississippi Baptist Medical Center is one of the most decorated hospitals in Mississippi. 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.
