Story

HISTORY


The creation of Byhalia Family Health Center in 1979 resulted from the efforts of a group of dedicated local citizens who recognized the urgent need for obtaining health care for the medically under served population of Marshall, Tate and Desoto Counties. The local group incorporated Northeast Mississippi Health Care, Inc. (NEMHC, Inc.) in 1979 as a nonprofit private corporation and received a grant from the United States Public Health Services to equip and open a Community Health Center in Byhalia.

In April 1993, Mt. Pleasant Family Health Clinic opened to provide easier access to health care for the residents of northern Marshall County.

In 2001, the corporation entered into contract with the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Memphis, TN and began providing primary care to eligible are veterans.

Byhalia Family Health Center and Mt. Pleasant Family Health Clinic are owned and operated by the communities they serve through a volunteer governing Board of Directors.
