The University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) has three missions: education, research, and patient care. University of Mississippi Health Care (UMHC) identifies the Clinical Programs of UMMC. This includes University Hospitals and Health System, and University Physicians (the faculty practice plan). We are dedicated to improving lives through quality health care, cutting-edge research and education of tomorrow’s health care leaders.

University Hospitals and Health System

University Hospitals and Health System (UHHS) is the part of UMHC that encompasses hospitals and clinical practice sites across the state of Mississippi.

Our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) also has the only Level III (top-rated) care rating in Mississippi. UHHS offers adult specialty services including high-risk obstetrics, medical toxicology, interventional cardiology and interventional MRI. The three adult hospitals serve over 27,000 inpatients each year. Outpatient clinic and emergency room visits total more than 300,000 each year.

UHHS also offers AirCare helicopter transport services between Mississippi hospitals and UHHS. This resource gives residents of the state access to the highest levels of care in emergency or trauma situations.
