North Mississippi Medical Center

Vision and innovation are woven into the very fabric of our organizational culture. The Mission, Vision and Organizational Values are the evolutionary result of an organization created by people of vision in this community in the early 1930s. NMMC and its leadership are dedicated to continuing that tradition and accomplishment set by community leaders in Tupelo and surrounding communities. NMMC reaffirms and refreshes the intentions of our community’s founding leaders to address current needs and anticipate the future state of health care.

The Board of Directors and senior leadership set the current Mission statement in 1994 to reflect the growing refusal to accept the pervasiveness of disease, which continued to debilitate our region. In 2001, this process led to the Values statement based on input from employees, physicians and the community. Since 1996, as a result of our work with the Baldrige criteria, we set our sights on organizational performance that far exceeds merely the acceptable.
