Children’s of Mississippi Ribbon Cutting

We celebrated the ribbon-cutting for the Kathy and Joe Sanderson Tower at Children’s of Mississippi this week! The expansion complements the Blair E. Batson Tower at Children’s of Mississippi to form the state’s only children’s hospital. Inside the new tower are a dozen surgical suites, 32 private pediatric intensive care rooms, 88 private neonatal intensive care rooms, an imaging center designed for children and an outpatient specialty clinic for follow-up care.

 “Today is about dreams and possibilities,” said Dr. LouAnn Woodward, vice chancellor for health affairs and dean of the School of Medicine. “Dreams are being realized, and possibilities have turned into bricks and mortar.”

The Sanderson Tower will open for patient care Nov. 2.
