Mississippi Baptist Medical Center (MBMC), Jackson’s first hospital, was opened as a clinic by two doctors in 1908. Today, more than 100 years later on the same site in downtown Jackson, our modern facilities include the Baptist Cancer Center and a six-level tower housing the Cardiovascular Center and Baptist for Women. In 2017, MBMC became a part of the Baptist Memorial Health Care system, creating one of the largest not-for-profit health care systems in the country. With an emphasis on high quality care and compassion for patients and their loved ones, MBMC has earned numerous awards and certifications. In March 2017, MBMC became the first and only hospital in Mississippi to earn the prestigious nursing designation as a Magnet™ facility. Today, MBMC admits approximately 21,000 hospital patients and performs more than 220,000 outpatient procedures each year.
