Mississippi FQHC Intelligence

East Central Mississippi Health Care's undated locations page, observed July 19, lists Sebastopol Medical & Dental Clinic hours of 7 a.m.–7 p.m. Monday, 7 a.m.–5 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, and 7:30 a.m.–2 p.m. Friday. It lists Walnut Grove Medical Clinic hours of 7:30 a.m.–5 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, 7:30 a.m.–8 p.m. Thursday, and 8 a.m.–2 p.m. Friday.

The page does not state when these schedules began, whether every medical, dental, behavioral-health service or named provider is available throughout every posted hour, or report appointment or walk-in availability, staffing, visits, demand, waits, measured access gains, or outcomes. July 19 is the observation date, not a schedule-effective date.

On July 17, 2026, the Mississippi State Department of Health said it had confirmed five reported cases of cyclosporiasis from Public Health Districts 3 (the Delta), 5 (Central), 8 (Southern), and 9 (including the coastal counties). At that time, none of those reported cases had been linked to the multistate outbreak under CDC investigation.

MSDH described cyclosporiasis as a gastrointestinal illness acquired from food or water contaminated by Cyclospora, said it is rarely spread directly from person to person, and said it would continue monitoring with CDC. This is state public-health surveillance, not an FQHC or directory-listed health-center operator action or patient tally.

The release does not report hospitalizations, patient outcomes, exact counties, exposure sources for the Mississippi cases, a shared cluster, health-center encounters or an operator-level effect.

Family Health Care Clinic's current locations page enumerates 18 Mississippi clinics. It lists Brandon as open 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Monday–Friday and 8 a.m.–noon Saturday, and Mendenhall as open 8 a.m.–7 p.m. Monday and Thursday and 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday; the page's after-hours section repeats the Brandon Saturday and Mendenhall evening schedules.

The organization also lists clinics in Alabama and Louisiana, but the 18-site count here covers only the Mississippi section. This is a current schedule observation dated July 16, 2026, not an opening or expansion date; the page does not identify specialty coverage during extended hours or establish walk-in access, appointment slots, staffing, capacity, patient volume, funding, or outcomes, so patients should confirm availability.

Access Family Health's current behavioral-health page lists its Smithville site at 60021 Monroe Street as open 8 a.m.–4:45 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Thursday; 8 a.m.–8 p.m. Tuesday; and 8 a.m.–12:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The page separately lists same-day evaluation, telehealth, crisis intervention and stabilization, and after-hours on-call coverage; it also lists Tupelo Behavioral Health as open 7 a.m.–5:30 p.m. Monday–Friday.

These are published services and schedules observed July 16, 2026, not evidence that the hours are new or expanded or that same-day slots, crisis response, or specific clinicians are available in real time. The page does not establish complete staffing, FTE, capacity, wait times, utilization, funding, or outcomes, so patients should confirm availability.

Mississippi Today found that the state's online input survey received 122 responses by its two-week deadline and 145 by late October. Nearly 80% came from Mississippi; the in-state responses represented 39 of 82 counties, with more than half concentrated in five counties.

The state held no public meeting or hearing during application development and invited 13 organizations to an August 28 closed-door forum. It hired HORNE, later acquired by BDO, through an emergency procurement that gave vendors less than one week to quote.

The article documents the input and procurement process; it does not quantify an FQHC-specific award or outcome.

The Mississippi Division of Medicaid says SPA 26-0002 is being submitted to CMS with a requested effective date of April 1, 2026. The amendment would allow an FQHC mobile unit to use its affiliated FQHC's provider number, remove a Mississippi State Department of Health survey requirement and remove a separate CMS letter requirement.

The notice documents a submitted amendment—not CMS approval or implementation—and does not quantify statewide sites, savings or deployment speed.

Mississippi Today reports that the Governor's Office oversees the state's nearly $206 million first-year award. At a legislative hearing, Jamila McLean of the Center for Mississippi Health Policy said Mississippi was an outlier in how little information it had released; program director Richard Grimes disputed that characterization and said CMS approved the budget on April 20.

Grimes said detailed budget amounts were withheld on attorneys' advice, while federal reports were shared with lawmakers. Gov. Tate Reeves vetoed an oversight bill, arguing it could jeopardize as much as $1 billion over five years; the Legislature did not override the veto.

HORNE/BDO holds a seven-year, $10.2 million consulting contract, and consultant Susan Abel said no awards or promises had been made at that point.

On May 20, 2026, North Mississippi Primary Health Care’s first-party news feed stated that Julie McIntosh, FNP, was seeing patients at its Corinth location and directed people to call 662-396-4406 to schedule an appointment with her. This verifies advertised access to one named family nurse practitioner at one site operated by the directory-listed North Ms Primary Health Care Inc. as of the post.

It does not establish that McIntosh was a new hire, her start date, employment or contract status, FTE, clinical schedule, specialty beyond the FNP credential, open appointment slots, panel size, tenure, compensation, incremental capacity, wait-time change, utilization or outcomes. The page is a dynamic first-party feed; May 20 is the displayed post date and the item was re-observed July 19.

The National Law Review's weekly 340B update says the Fifth Circuit denied a petition for rehearing en banc in one drug manufacturer's challenge to Mississippi's contract-pharmacy law. The brief does not identify the manufacturer, summarize the panel's reasoning, discuss a Supreme Court filing or quantify an effect on Mississippi health centers.

This record therefore treats the development narrowly as a procedural appellate update.

Mississippi Today reports that the Senate unanimously passed a pilot allowing the state health officer to license three outpatient dialysis facilities, three ambulatory surgery centers and geriatric psychiatric facilities connected to rural hospitals within five miles. The House had passed a broader bill exempting 55 rural hospitals from certificate-of-need review for new services or improvements within five miles.

At publication, the chambers still had to agree on one version. The article does not supply a 24-hospital closure count, a statewide 54% vulnerability rate, a Medicaid-payment estimate or a measured FQHC effect.

G.A. Carmichael Family Health Center's undated Maternal Village PDF carries January 2, 2026 file and hosting metadata and says the program supports expectant mothers through monthly prenatal checkups, childbirth education, nutrition and birth-planning education, guided yoga, and stress-relief techniques.

It lists a maternal and reproductive continuum including prenatal, labor-and-delivery, doula, postpartum, gynecologic, family-planning, and preventive-screening services; it also describes telehealth, hospital and high-risk-specialist referrals, and integration with primary, dental, and behavioral health care. The document says the program serves women and families across the Mississippi Delta, focusing on rural, low-income, and underserved populations.

It does not state a launch date, clinic locations or schedules, whether every listed service is directly delivered at every site, enrollment, staffing, utilization, measured access changes, or outcomes. January 2 is document and hosting metadata, not a stated publication or program-start date.

The Mississippi Healthcare Collaborative's December 31 page links a two-page abstract titled “Mississippi Rural Health Transformation Plan Overview” and says the document offers details on the state's proposed use of federal rural-health funding. A related item on the same page says Mississippi will receive almost $206 million in the first year.

The page itself does not characterize the award as the state's largest ever, provide a Mississippi-specific hospital-vulnerability percentage, document AI implementation or establish FQHC grant eligibility.

Aaron E. Henry Community Health Services Center’s November 2025 newsletter visually groups six named clinical staff under “Welcome Our Newest Employees”: David L. Webber, MD, family medicine at Clarksdale Clinic; Ericka Barber, certified medical assistant, MMU/Tunica; Shania Haile, phlebotomist, Children’s Clinic; Tamya Sanders, phlebotomist, Batesville Clinic; Kemeshia Tribbett, LPN, Children’s Clinic; and Florence House, LPN, Batesville Clinic.

It separately groups three named clinical staff under “Welcome back”: Roselyn Delaney-Magitt, FNP, Children’s Clinic; Breanna Jones, RN, Clarksdale Clinic; and Keara Gilliam, LPN, Children’s Clinic. This documents six people presented as new employees and three presented as returning personnel at directory-listed Aaron E. Henry Community Health Services Center, Inc.; it does not establish nine new positions, nine added FTE, or net staffing growth.

The issue does not provide full-time, part-time or contract status, individual start or return dates, schedules, hours, vacancies replaced, compensation, funding, retention, patient capacity, utilization or outcomes. The issue supplies only November 2025, so the record date is normalized to the first day of that month.

SEMRHI’s July 16, 2025 announcement set the Pharmacy Assistance Center’s reopening for July 21 at 74 Old Airport Road in Hattiesburg; the organization’s current history and pharmacy pages confirm that construction was completed in July 2025 and that the center operates at that address Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The center is a closed-door pharmacy that fills only prescriptions written by SEMRHI physicians and nurse practitioners and does not sell over-the-counter medications.

The sources do not report prescription volume, patient capacity, construction cost or medication-adherence outcomes.

Amite County Medical Services' standing transportation page carries June 16, 2025 page metadata and says ACMS purchased gas cards for eligible patients enrolled in its Sliding Fee Discount Program to support travel from their homes to ACMS clinics. It says the number and dollar amount of cards are determined each year from the approved organizational budget.

The page does not state a current-year allocation, confirm that cards remained available when reviewed, define eligibility beyond sliding-fee enrollment, explain the application or distribution process, or report recipients, trips, card values, unmet demand, measured access gains, or outcomes. June 16 is a metadata-derived page date, not a stated program-start or funding date.
