North Mississippi Medical Clinics

Overview

North Mississippi Medical Clinics, a regional network of physician offices, was established in 1990 and has since grown to include more than 30 primary and specialty care clinics with more than 100 physicians. From its earliest days, the clinic system has offered practicing and prospective physicians an innovative way to practice medicine. The arrangement is appealing to established physicians as well as those beginning their careers because they can devote more time to their patients while the clinic system manages the business side of their practice.

North Mississippi Medical Clinics is affiliated with North Mississippi Health Services, the area’s leading health care organization. The flagship hospital, North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo, is the 2006 recipient of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award in the health care division. In addition, NMHS has community hospitals in Eupora, Iuka, Pontotoc and West Point, Miss., and Hamilton, Ala.

Another benefit of this practice setup is North Mississippi Medical Clinics’ physician recruitment efforts to ensure communities have access to physicians.

Physicians who have the drive to exceed average will find challenging and rewarding leadership opportunities with North Mississippi Medical Clinics. The governance structure is physician-led with everyone given the opportunity to make a tangible difference.
