We are honored to share that our incredible CEO, Dr. James L. Coleman Jr., along with our CMO Dr. McLaurin and Nurse Practitioner Eason, were recently interviewed by two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Nicholas Kristof, a regular CNN contributor and columnist for The New York Times. This moment was made even more extraordinary by the fact that the photo was captured by Pulitzer Prize winning, famed photographer Lynsey Addario.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to both Mr. Kristof and Mrs. Addario for taking the time to shine a NATIONAL light on healthcare in the Mississippi Delta and the challenges our communities face every day. We may not have all the resources of larger cities, but we have something even more powerful, the strength of our communities, the dedication of our team, and an unwavering commitment to move forward together.
