University of Mississippi Medical Center Acquires Merit Health Madison

Merit Health Madison will now operate under the name UMMC Madison.

By HFT Staff


The University of Mississippi Medical Center is expanding its footprint and healthcare reach with the acquisition of Merit Health Madison, which now operates as UMMC Madison.   

With 67 licensed beds, the Canton-based hospital will expand UMMC’s mission to deliver accessible care to more Mississippians while providing additional training opportunities for future healthcare providers.  

This acquisition, finalized May 1, builds on a business relationship that began in 2019, when UMMC physicians first started performing procedures at the hospital. Now, as the full owner, UMMC will integrate the facility more closely into its academic and healthcare system.  

UMMC Madison will continue to provide a wide range of community hospital services, including emergency services, medical-surgical care, ICU, pulmonology, pathology, cardiology, radiology, neurology, nephrology, general surgery and GI services. The hospital will operate as a community hospital, much like UMMC Grenada and UMMC Holmes County, retaining privileges for non-UMMC community physicians alongside UMMC providers.
