Our Story
Baptist Memorial Hospital-Golden Triangle in Columbus, Mississippi joined the Baptist Memorial Health Care system in 1993, and, with 315 beds, is Baptist's largest regional hospital. The hospital was named Mississippi 'Hospital of the Year', 100 beds or more for 2014 by the Mississippi Nurses Association and Mississippi Nurses Foundation. Baptist Golden Triangle was also the only hospital in the state to be awarded the VHA Leadership Award for Clinical Excellence in 2013.
The hospital is the only one in Mississippi and one of only 41 in the United States to have received a Straight A safety rating from The Leapfrog Group since the organization began assigning ratings for patient safety in 2012.
Developed under the guidance of an expert panel, the Leapfrog Hospital Safety grade uses 27 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to assign A, B, C, D and F grades to more than 2,600 U.S. hospitals twice each year. It is calculated by top patient-safety experts, peer reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public. More than 100 physicians and surgeons representing almost every medical specialty practice at the hospital, which offers a full range of comprehensive medical care to all ages. On May 23, 2005, Baptist Golden Triangle opened a $34 million bed tower, expanding and upgrading the hospital campus and enhancing patient accommodations. The 167,000-square-foot structure added 151 patient rooms, each with private accommodations, and houses the hospital's advanced labor and delivery department. Its Baptist Cancer Center-Golden Triangle, provides complete cancer services, including chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The Cancer Center also has a dedicated pharmacy and an on-site laboratory and medical technologist. Advanced technology, including a fully integrated linear accelerator with advanced simulation and 3-D treatment planning, helps physicians, nurses and staff deliver high-quality care to patients. BCC physicians perform many types of procedures, including high dose rate brachytherapy. This procedure delivers radiation directly to and within tumors without affecting healthy tissue, and, in many cases is an effective alternative to conventional surgery. The treatment is administered over only a few days with very little discomfort to patients. We currently offer chemotherapy infusion at two infusion centers - one in Columbus and a second location in Starkville, for the convenience of our patients who live west of Lowndes County.
