Forrest Health

Forrest Health connects hospitals, providers, and communities to expand access to healthcare across South Mississippi. Rooted in Care.

[Forrest Health @ForrestHealthMS]

Our Emergency Department is one of the two busiest in the state, which is a reflection of the trust our community places in us every single day. To continue serving our community at the highest level, an expansion is now underway, including 12 additional rooms to meet the growing demand for emergency care.

Beyond the 12 new rooms, there will also be improvements to enhance patient flow and the overall experience from the moment you walk in. You can expect a renovated ambulatory entrance, open lobby, streamlined registration, and a reimagined Fast Track and Treatment Lounge area with private cubicles. Enhanced security measures will also be in place to ensure a safer environment for patients, families, and staff.

This is an important step to support both patients and staff in an effort to continue strengthening emergency care across South Mississippi.

Healing doesn’t always happen in a hospital room.

Sometimes, it looks like a front porch. A familiar chair. A walk outside.

It’s not always the big moments.

Sometimes it’s a quiet place to sit.
A space to breathe.
A small comfort that makes a hard day a little easier.

That’s what care beyond the walls really means, for patients, families, and everyone in between.

May is Stroke Awareness Month, and there is no better time to learn the signs that could save a life.

When it comes to stroke, every second matters. Knowing the BE FAST acronym could make all the difference:
B — Balance: sudden loss of balance
E — Eyes: sudden vision changes
F — Face: drooping on one side
A — Arm: weakness or numbness
S — Speech: slurred or strange
T — Time: call 911 immediately

Stroke can happen to anyone, at any age. Don't wait. Don't drive. Call 911 at the first sign of stroke.
