IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY. Children are struck down by illness and injury. Thousands of Mississippi children and their families must deal with this reality each year. At the Blair E. Batson Hospital for Children, we work hard to overcome these obstacles, but we cannot do it alone. It takes support from the community to keep the hospital on the cutting edge of contemporary health care.
In the last year, Batson Hospital averaged 9,000 admissions, and more than 150,000 youngsters from all of Mississippi's 82 counties were treated in its clinics and emergency room. No child is ever turned away for any reason.
We treat the whole child, not just the disease. Batson Hospital is a teaching and research hospital and many of the treatment programs at Batson Hospital are not available anywhere else in Mississippi. The hospital is filled with the state-of-the-art equipment and the staff works hard to fulfill our mission of family-centered care.
