Forrest Health

Forrest Health - Caring in all ways, for all people, always.

Since 1952, our purpose has been clear: complete devotion to the care of others. It’s a calling to show up, serve, and nurture in ways that go beyond basic healthcare, strengthening our communities at every moment, milestone, and need. It’s not just a promise, but a way of life: to care in all ways, for all people, always.

The Forrest Health system was established in 2012 through the partnership of community hospitals with a common goal: strengthening the foundation of healthcare in South Mississippi through improved access, quality, and stability. Today, that partnership has grown into one integrated system – Forrest. With 8 hospitals, including the area’s leading Trauma Center, 12 clinics, The Forrest General Cancer Center, Asbury Hospice House, and Pine Grove Behavioral Health & Addiction Services, Forrest provides care to a population of 600,000 across 19 counties, in every stage of life.

Our hospital locations include:

• Forrest General Hospital – Hattiesburg, Mississippi
• Highland Community Hospital – Picayune, Mississippi
• Jefferson Davis Community Hospital & Extended Care Facility – Prentiss, Mississippi
• Marion General Hospital – Columbia, Mississippi
• Pearl River County Hospital & Nursing Home – Poplarville, Mississippi
• Perry County General Hospital – Richton, Mississippi
• Walthall General Hospital – Tylertown, Mississippi
• The Orthopedic Institute – A boutique orthopedic hospital and surgical center in Hattiesburg, Mississippi

We are here to care for people – For their health, families, and futures. As we grow, we need devoted, competent, and compassionate providers to join us in that mission. If you’re looking for a healthcare community that embodies devotion in action, we hope you join us at Forrest!
