This year, Resident Appreciation Week feels different.

In the midst of a cyberattack and more than a week without an EMR, our neurosurgery residents have met uncertainty with, teamwork, and professionalism. They’ve adapted quickly, taken on extra responsibility, and continued delivering safe, thoughtful care to our patients.

Moments like this reveal character and we are proud of what we’ve seen from our entire team. To our residents: thank you for your resilience, your leadership, and your steady presence when it matters most!

The UMMC Triage Line has been set up for calls from patients. The telephone number is 601-815-0000. For medical emergencies, call 911.

Requests for time-sensitive needs, such as medication refills or postoperative care visits, will be prioritized.

What to expect when you call

Please speak clearly when prompted to provide your name, callback number, date of birth, who you are trying to reach and your reason for calling. People calling for prescription refills should have on hand the medication name and dosage, plus the name, address and telephone number of their pharmacy.

About the call back

Messages will be routed to the appropriate person for a return phone call, in as timely a manner as possible. Please be aware your return call may be from a non-UMMC number. Return calls may be delayed as we anticipate a high volume of calls daily from across the state.

Please do not call multiple times. Repeated calls will slow our ability to respond.

We apologize for this interruption of our services. Teams are working around the clock to restore full operations and help as many people as quickly as we possibly can.

Thank you for your support and understanding.

🎄 Last year, Raymond and Beverly Sinele’s holiday plans took a wild turn. 😮 What started as a quiet retirement getaway in matching Christmas pajamas became an urgent trip home for surgery at UMMC.

This year? They’re celebrating Christmas with family and extra gratitude for everyone who helped them get there. ✨ Here’s hoping it’s full of holiday cheer and without another 3-day PJ marathon!

👓🎄 We’re proud to outfit our interns with their own custom-fit surgical loupes each year, a gift meant to help set them up for success as they step into neurosurgery training. This year, they arrived just in time for Christmas! 🎁

Surgical loupes offer precise magnification of the operative field, helping surgeons reduce eye strain, maintain better posture, and stay focused during long, complex procedures. 🧠 👀
