History
Today, with the click of a button, you can explore Merit Health Woman's Hospital and see what we have to offer in the area of women's and infants' services. But, as amazing as technology is, there is no way to accurately depict 40 years of treasured memories that began in a hospital whose caring and compassion have touched the lives of thousands of families. Merit Health Woman's Hospital was opened in 1975 by a group of Jackson obstetricians and gynecologists who wanted to operate a new type of hospital for women and infants.
Known as the premier hospital of its kind in Mississippi, Merit Health Woman's Hospital offered a new alternative for women who wanted superior medical treatment, and most importantly, personal care. That same level of service is still offered today. Merit Health Woman's Hospital, which is part of the Merit Health healthcare network, is known throughout Mississippi as a hospital that provides modern medical care, coupled with a high level of personal attention and pampering. A lot has changed over the years - a renovation project has enlarged and modernized many of the patient rooms, and more expansion is planned for the future. Most importantly, critical lifesaving care is available for premature infants and others who require special medical attention. However, one thing hasn't changed - Merit Health Woman's Hospital's commitment to offer premier maternity, surgical and health services. It's a promise our founders made in 1975, and it's one we'll continue to follow. With its convenient Flowood location that is just minutes from downtown Jackson, as well as Interstates 55 and 20, Merit Health Woman's Hospital is the health care facility of choice for thousands of central Mississippians each year.
