University of Mississippi Medical Center - Grenada Grenada, Mississippi Establishment of Swing-Bed Services
The University of Mississippi Medical Center, d/b/a University of Mississippi Medical Center – Grenada received Certificate of Need (CON) authority on Tuesday to establish swing-bed services at its Grenada facility.

Mississippi's Certificate of Need process is a fundamental component of the state's health planning and health regulatory activities. In managing the Certificate of Need process, the Department seeks to improve the health of Mississippi residents; to increase accessibility, acceptability, continuity and quality of health services; to prevent unnecessary duplication of health resources; and to provide some cost containment.
The MSDH has administered the Certificate of Need program since July 1986. Since then, more than 1,400 Certificate of Need applications have been reviewed, representing total capital expenditures of approximately $5 billion.
Public notices prior to CON approval are available online at HealthyMS.com/con.
