Since 1981, River Oaks Hospital has been committed to serving our community. With dedication and commitment to the community we are pleased to extend our care to you, the patients we serve, with the opening of our recent expansion.

Our "145,000 square foot baby" allows us to provide the care you have come to expect from River Oaks Hospital. The expansion is located between River Oaks and The Suites. Of the new licensed beds, 15 enlarge the hospital's NICU, 18 are designated for obstetrics and 22 for medical/surgical which primarily will be used for orthopedic patients.

Rankin County has experienced tremendous growth since the hospital opened in 1981, and the population of Rankin County has grown by 20% in the last seven years. The population is expected to grow an additional 7% in the next five years bringing the population to 152,162. River Oaks is here for you and will continue to be proactive in providing quality care to Rankin county. This recent addition is actually the first phase of the new building. Additional expansions and service lines are underway for 2010.

At River Oaks, we pride ourselves on offering outstanding medical care to the Jackson Metro area. We enjoy serving our community and look forward to additional expansions in 2010.

With sincere thanks,

Dennis R. Bruns
