About Northeast Mississippi Health Care, Inc.
The creation of Byhalia Family Health Center in 1979 resulted from the efforts of a group of dedicated local citizens who recognized the urgent need for obtaining health care for the medically underserved population of Marshall, Tate and Desoto Counties. The local group incorporated Northeast Mississippi Health Care, Inc. (NEMHC, Inc.) in 1979 as a nonprofit private corporation and received a grant from the United States Public Health Services to equip and open a Community Health Center in Byhalia. In April 1993, Mt. Pleasant Family Health Clinic opened to provide easier access to health care for the residents of northern Marshall County. In July 2014, DeSoto Community Health Center was opened in Southaven, MS with funding provided by Baptist Memorial Foundation to serve DeSoto County residents. Northeast Mississippi Health Care is overseen by a Board of Directors reflecting the diversity of this region. This diversity is demonstrated in where they live, their professional expertise regarding the social drivers of health, as well as social and cultural characteristics.
