Promoting good health through education and attention to lifestyle is the focus of Natchez Regional Medical Center’s community outreach programs. We feel it is our responsibility as a healthcare provider to share our services and expertise with the community. Our employees can be found working at health fairs; volunteering at community events; and speaking on health topics in local schools, employer safety meetings, etc. We are proud of our commitment in this area and invite you to contact our Community Relations Director, Kay Ketchings, at 601-443-2534 to schedule a speaker or inquire about our community outreach services.
