Message From Our CEO:
At Sharkey Issaquena Community Hospital we are a family, and it is my goal to give you a patient experience that reflects that sentiment. Convenient, quality care close to home is not just a slogan. I firmly believe that where you live should not limit the healthcare options that you have. We will continue to explore ways to make it easier for you to have all of your healthcare needs met, right here in Rolling Fork.
The comfort and care of our patients is always our priority. Yet I am also acutely aware of our responsibility to ensure equal access to healthcare for all, which I will continue to strive for each day. My door is always open to the members of our community and I look forward to serving you and your loved ones should the need arise.
Respectfully,
S. Jerry Keever
