It’s considered “the most demanding stroke certification” by the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association, bestowed only upon hospitals with the ability to receive and treat the most complex stroke cases. The Medical Center is now a Comprehensive Stroke Center, a honor given by The Joint Commission and evidence of the continuum of care that makes UMMC’s stroke care unique in Mississippi.

Construction of a new home for UMMC’s School of Nursing will provide the space for a 25 percent increase in enrollment. The facility will include classrooms, laboratories for simulation training and research, study and lounge areas for students and faculty and administration offices.

Marci Craft helps her coworkers in the Office of Nursing Quality, Development and Professional Practice stay on task and assists with nursing-led projects designed to keep a nursing staff of more than 2,000 engaged.

The disease that has struck a well-known actor is anything but well-known. It’s somewhat rare, but, to the person it affects, its symptoms are far-reaching. There is no cure, for now, but It’s important to know if your loved one may have it in order to keep them safe.

Several interesting events are scheduled for the upcoming week at the Medical Center.

Medical Center leadership is proud to acknowledge those employees who will celebrate service anniversaries during the week of June 19 - 25.
