KDMC: Quality healthcare, close to home The benefit of living in a small town with big-city healthcare is what Brookhaven and Lincoln County have to offer their residents. King’s Daughters Medical Center has been a part of the community for over 100 years and its commitment to this community has never been stronger. Our first location was the Brookhaven Sanitarium located on Chickasaw St. in 1914. The second location was established in 1922 on the corner of North Jackson and West Congress St. and included a nursing school. In 1964, a new facility was constructed at the current location on Hwy. 51 North and has evolved into a leader for providing patient centered healthcare to this community. In 1998, a name change was made from King’s Daughters Hospital to King’s Daughters Medical Center to reflect the ongoing commitment to the community and its healthcare needs. The mission statement — “Always providing Quality Health and Wellness in a Christian Environment”— is not just a few
words. It is the backbone of KDMC and how it treats patients. KDMC has been continually recognized by numerous agencies for patient satisfaction, patient safety and overall patient care. Modern Health Care’s Best Place to Work in health care has recognized KDMC as a “Best Places to Work” eight of the last nine years and the last four consecutive years. KDMC is committed to building a healthcare system that our community deserves. KDMC has developed its out-patient clinical services and now operates KDMC Medical Clinic and KDMC Specialty Clinic, along with KDMC Pediatric & Adolescent Clinic and KDMC Sports Medicine Orthopaedic & Spine Clinic. In addition to these family practices, internist and specialized practices, KDMC offers niche services in the following areas: Vein Center, Infusion Center, Sleep Center, Vision Center, Wound Care, Therapy Center and most recently KDMC Behavioral
Wellness Center. In keeping with the mission statement that mentions “quality health and wellness” KDMC has the community’s health at heart with KDMC Fitness Center and KDMC Performance Center. Any age, any sport — KDMC has you covered from health and fitness to training at a high level for competition. David Culpepper, King’s Daughters’ Director of Marketing said, “We are constantly looking for new service lines and opportunities to meet our community’s healthcare needs.” “One great example of this was our staff’s response during the pandemic — administering the Covid vaccines to thousands of people in Southwest Mississippi. Once they became available our staff volunteered their Saturdays to administer the vaccine and give hope to so many in our community. Meeting the need of the community when it’s needed most.” King’s Daughters Medical Center Caring for our community. 39601 33
