MSU President Mark E. Keenum issues statement welcoming Baptist Memorial Health Systems to MSU, community

"I would like to welcome Baptist Memorial Health Systems to the Mississippi State University and Starkville community as our new, local healthcare provider.

Baptist Memorial Health Systems has an impressive track record of delivering quality healthcare throughout our region, and we look forward to having them provide that same top level of care in our hometown. I would like to commend the Oktibbeha County Board of Supervisors for their strong leadership and for having the vision to seek a healthcare provider that can benefit our students, faculty, staff, local residents and the many visitors our region hosts. Mississippi State, Starkville and Oktibbeha County’s brightest days are ahead, and I am proud that Baptist Memorial Health Systems will join us as a partner.” — Mark E. Keenum, President
