Greenwood Leflore Hospital was established in 1906 by the King’s Daughters’ Society with the help of the City of Greenwood and Leflore County.

By 1952, Greenwood Leflore Hospital had moved into its third home which it continues to occupy at 1401 River Road. Greenwood Leflore Hospital is publicly-owned by the City of Greenwood and Leflore County. Originating in a converted mansion, Greenwood Leflore Hospital has evolved into a regional hub of healthcare services for North Central Mississippi. Greenwood Leflore upgrades facilities and technology and recruits highly skilled medical professionals to provide advanced care with compassion. The hospital offers a broad range of medical and surgical care capabilities across its network of clinics.

Not all milk is the same when it comes to food safety. Raw milk has not been pasteurized, a process that kills harmful germs that can cause illness. Drinking raw milk can expose you to bacteria such as E. coli, Salmonella and Listeria.

Children younger than 5, adults 65 and older, pregnant people and those with weakened immune systems face a greater risk of serious illness. Choosing pasteurized milk and dairy products is a safer option.

UMMC Greenwood’s first walking event was a success! Led by dietitian Anne Marie Gregory, the walk brought together 22 participants for some fresh air, movement and time with colleagues.

The beautiful weather made it even better, and we were happy to have our new COO, Samuel Pieh, join us and share a few words at the start. Thanks to everyone who came out and helped make the first walk a great one!

Flu can be more than a seasonal inconvenience, especially for older adults, young children and people with certain health conditions. Getting a flu vaccine each year is an important step in reducing the risk of serious complications. Washing your hands often and avoiding close contact with people who are sick can also help.

Enjoying time outdoors? Don't forget to check for ticks.

Lyme disease is spread through the bite of infected blacklegged ticks and can cause symptoms such as fever, headache, fatigue and a rash. Check yourself, your children and your pets for ticks after spending time outdoors, and remove any attached ticks as soon as possible.

Secondhand smoke can affect more than the person who smokes. Even brief exposure can be harmful, and children exposed to secondhand smoke have a higher risk of respiratory infections, ear infections and asthma attacks.

One of the best ways to protect your family is to keep your home and vehicle smoke-free. Learn more about the health effects of secondhand smoke from the CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/secondhand-smoke/
