Caring for People
When you or someone you love requires hospitalization, expert medical care is essential. But more is needed -- genuine compassion from health care professionals who understand your concerns. At Baptist Medical Center, we offer a wide range of technologically advanced inpatient and outpatient diagnostic and surgical procedures. And every day -- in ways that most patients and their families may never see or know about -- Baptist professionals demonstrate their unwavering commitment to provide exceptional patient care.

Whether you're having a baby or facing bypass surgery, your hospital admission can be handled in advance. Schedule a preadmission visit and get answers to any questions you have about your upcoming stay, fill out forms necessary for admission and even complete certain physician-requested lab tests prior to admission.

For a preadmission appointment, call 1-800-749-7940 or in Jackson, 601-968-1393.
