About Blair E. Batson Children's Hospital
Batson Children’s Hospital on the University of Mississippi Medical Center campus, which is part of the University of Mississippi, is the only medical facility in the state devoted exclusively to the care and treatment of sick and injured children and adolescents. The hospital averages 9,000 admissions a year and nearly 80,000 children are treated in its clinics and emergency room annually. Patients come from all of Mississippi’s 82 counties to receive comprehensive medical care for everything from common childhood illnesses to serious trauma and life-threatening or chronic illnesses.
Batson Children's Hospital provides care in more than 30 specialty areas, including newborn medicine, pediatric cardiology, neurology and surgery. It houses the state’s only pediatric intensive care unit and emergency department, along with Mississippi's only pediatric treatment programs for cancer, cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, congenital heart defects and more.
In fact, construction is underway on a new $180 million pediatrics tower to be constructed adjacent to Batson Children’s Hospital, further expanding top-tier medical care for Mississippi’s youngest citizens.
