Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center (SMRMC) in McComb, Mississippi, is the only major medical center in a 60-mile radius. Established in 1969, the center serves a seven-county area of Mississippi and also draws from two parishes in neighboring eastern Louisiana.
SMRMC has developed an integrated health system that provides comprehensive, state-of-the-art healthcare to a population that typically would have to travel 60 to 100 miles to Jackson, MS or Baton Rouge and New Orleans, LA for such levels of service.
SMRMC includes the 160-bed Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center with over 1000 employees and 70 physicians on staff; the Mississippi Cancer Institute for the treatment and prevention of cancer; a 20-bed geriatric/psychiatric unit; and a home health service serving 17 counties. In addition, SMRMC owns and operates nine clinics, including rural health clinics, an internal medicine clinic, and an outpatient rehabilitation center.
