UMMCโs Childrenโs Heart Center
Backed by the stateโs only academic medical center and Mississippi's only childrenโs hospital, the pediatric specialists of Childrenโs Heart Center offer comprehensive, complex cardiovascular specialty care to pediatric patients of all ages, fetal to adolescent. We have added several providers to our Heart Center faculty and continue to expand the care we provide by growing our outreach services. We now offer pediatric cardiology services in Tupelo and on the Gulf Coast, and have outreach clinics in Iuka, Hattiesburg, Meridian and Pascagoula, including additional fetal echo and adult congenital services.
In December 2017, we broke ground on a significant expansion of Batson Childrenโs Hospital which will include new pediatric-specific imaging services, operating rooms, cardiac cath labs, an outpatient Childrenโs Heart Center clinic, and a pediatric cardiac intensive care unit. With such expert faculty and staff here, we are thrilled to add these new resources to our facilities. Together, they will allow us to continue providing the quality, family-centered care that our children deserve.
