Our History
Lackey Memorial Hospital has been a cornerstone of compassionate care and medical excellence in Forest, Mississippi, since its establishment in 1952. Named in honor of the Lackey family, whose vision and generosity brought this institution to life, the hospital was founded with a steadfast commitment to improving the health and well-being of the community.
In 2000, Lackey Memorial Hospital achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first designated Critical Access Hospital in Mississippi. This designation highlights our dedication to providing high-quality care in a rural setting, ensuring that patients in our community have access to essential medical services close to home. It also reflects our commitment to innovation and leadership in rural healthcare.
From humble beginnings as a small rural hospital, we have grown and evolved to meet the changing needs of our patients. Over the decades, we have embraced advancements in medical technology and expanded our services to provide comprehensive care, including radiology, surgical procedures, emergency medicine, long-term living, and specialty clinics.
Despite our growth, the core values that guided our founding remain unchanged: compassion, dedication, and service. Our focus has always been on treating each patient like family, ensuring that everyone who walks through our doors receives the highest quality care in a welcoming and supportive environment.
Throughout our history, Lackey Memorial Hospital has weathered challenges and celebrated triumphs, always staying true to our mission of being a beacon of hope and healing. We are proud to continue this legacy today, standing as a trusted healthcare provider for Forest and the surrounding communities.
