RIDGELAND, Miss. (WJTV) – The University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) began seeing patients at its new Colony Park South location in Ridgeland on Monday, February 3.
The Departments of Internal Medicine, Neurology and Rehabilitative Services will begin clinic appointments at Colony Park South this week with other specialties to follow in the coming weeks.
This marks the beginning of a major expansion of UMMC’s patient care and academic programs, with Colony Park North scheduled to open in 2026.
“This expansion of our services will benefit all patients, our faculty and learners,” said Dr. Alan Jones, associate vice chancellor for health affairs. “With additional clinic space, we can open access to our caregivers, many of whom can only be found at UMMC. We look forward to the opportunities this facility will bring to the communities we serve.”
Located with easy access to I-55, the Colony Park facility offers Mississippians a streamlined experience for clinical care. There will be on-site parking and a free, handicapped-accessible shuttle service connecting Colony Park South to the main UMMC campus in Jackson.
The shuttle will operate Monday through Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with tracking available via the UMMC Shuttle Tracker website and the TransLoc app. Pickup and drop-off on the Jackson campus will be located near the main hospital entrance at stop #13 within close walking distance to the JTRAN bus stop.
In addition to the specialty clinics, Colony Park South has medical laboratory services and advanced imaging options, including MRI, CT, X-ray, ultrasound and mammography. Many of the clinics are relocating from the Pavilion at UMMC’s main campus in Jackson, allowing for future renovations to enhance adult cancer care facilities.
Colony Park South will house several UMMC ambulatory clinics, including surgical services (acute care, cardiac, general, plastic, surgical oncology, urology and thoracic), allergy/immunology, gastroenterology, genetics, geriatrics, internal medicine, neurology, radiology, orthopaedics, travel clinic, and physical and occupational therapies.
