Baptist Memorial Hospital-North Mississippi in Oxford is one of the best hospitals in America, according to a new report from Healthgrades.
The popular website used by Americans when searching for a doctor or hospital released its “Best 250 Hospitals for 2025” list on Thursday. The inclusion of Baptist North Mississippi places the hospital among the top 5% in the country for clinical excellence.
“This recognition highlights the hard work and dedication of our entire team,” Baptist North Mississippi CEO Brian Welton said. “Our physicians, nurses, and staff consistently strive to provide the highest level of care, and we are honored to be recognized among the nation’s best.”
Through its analysis, Healthgrades evaluated approximately 4,500 hospitals on 31 conditions and procedures, including heart attacks and total knee replacement, and their clinical outcomes from 2022 to 2024. Hospitals could not opt in or submit their own data.
Baptist North Mississippi, the only hospital in Mississippi to land on the list, has 217 beds and offers various services, including cardiovascular surgery, neurosurgery, home care hospice, and a 24-hour emergency department. In 2017, the hospital moved into a new 600,000-square-foot facility to be able to offer expanded services such as a larger emergency department, larger patient rooms, and advanced technology.
