  • Wayne General Hospital COVID-19 Center of Excellence Awarded

    We are pleased to announce that Wayne General Hospital has been designated by the Mississippi State Department of Health as a COVID-19 Center of Excellence. For the countless hours and a million moments of heartbreak, hope, and strength shown throughout this pandemic, thank you to America's healthcare professionals, who have inspired us through it all.


  • COVID-19 Center of Excellence

    To be designated as a Center of Excellence, a healthcare provider must agree to administer the COVID-19 vaccine to eligible members of their communities; serve as a referral location for COVID-19 monoclonal antibody treatment (a therapeutic infusion to reduce the severity of the disease); and address disparities in vaccination access in their communities.

  • COVID-19 Center of Excellence

    “We are incredibly proud that these health systems have stood up to arm their communities with additional vaccination and treatment efforts in the fight against COVID-19,” said MSDH State Health Officer Thomas Dobbs, MD, MPH. “With the help of these Centers of Excellence, we can reach important populations that might not be otherwise served through our traditional drive-through clinics.” As we continue our commitment to our community in fighting Covid-19, we are honored to be recognized and serve as a COVID-19 Center of Excellence.

Baby Friendly Designation

Wayne General Awarded Baby Friendly Designation
Why Should You Deliver in a Baby-Friendly Designated Facility? Hospitals and birthing centers with the Baby-Friendly designation have been verified by a third party (Baby-Friendly USA) that holds them accountable to the highest standards for mother/baby care practices related to infant feeding. Our facility is prepared to help you and your new baby get off to the best start possible. Staff are trained regarding the care of breastfeeding mothers and babies. Babies stay close to their mothers right after birth so that they can breastfeed as soon as they are ready. Policies allow healthy babies and their mothers to stay together day and night (rooming in) so they have the best chance to get to know each other.
Being together gives parents more opportunities to learn about normal baby behavior knowing that knowledgeable staff can answer their questions about their baby and breastfeeding. Baby-Friendly staff will carefully assess your baby’s feeding so that any early problems can be taken care of quickly. Staff will assist you in breastfeeding so that you feel more confident. Furthermore, if breastfeeding worries arise after you and your baby go home, our Baby-Friendly hospital has staff who can help you solve feeding problems. Breastfeeding has many benefits not only for infants but for their mothers as well. For mothers breastfeeding helps them to recover quicker, lose weight, and reduce the risk for high blood pressure, certain breast and ovarian cancers, and Type 2 Diabetes. Breastfeeding has also been shown to lower a baby’s risk for ear infections, asthma, lower respiratory infections, childhood leukemia, Type 2 diabetes, eczema, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), and much more. I am truly passionate about preventive medicine and women’s health. Chances are everyone in our community has experienced or knows someone who has experienced one or more of these illnesses.
Improving Health and Wellness
Here at Wayne General Hospital, our goal is to improve the health and wellness of our community, not just at the present time, but in the future as well. We look forward to the positive impact that this designation will have on our community.
