Mississippi Medical Facilities
Hospice
The place I initially mistook for a hospital turned out to be a nursing home, evident as I walked its silent corridors. In one room, a hospital bed bore the somber label 'Hospice'.
Modern Marvel
In the early 20th century, this hospital was constructed with the support of a local charitable organization, the county, and the city.
Charity
I made a third trip recently and was surprised the remaining structures were still there.
Hallowed Halls
From a distance, the building looms like a sleeping giant, its vastness evident even to casual observers. But as one ventures inside, the true scale of this abandoned hospital unveils itself in staggering detail.
Surgical Lights
In the heart of Mississippi, amid sprawling bayous and cypress trees, lies the remnants of a once-thriving small-town hospital.
Silent Halls
Venture into the heart of rural Mississippi and discover "Silent Halls," a photographic journey that captures the haunting beauty of a forgotten hospital.
Old McComb City Hospital
The original McComb City Hospital was a 2-story brick building constructed in 1911.
Family Dentistry
What I thought was an abandoned house, was an abandoned dentist office. I guess it was a house at one time. A portion of the first floor has fallen in and can really be seen at the stairwell. There is something unsettling about teeth lying about. See below.
South Washington County Hospital

Haunted Hospital
“Everything has been stolen, all the carpet, all the wiring,” Rogers said. “It’s been pilfered, it’s been actually abused. It got to a point where if we boarded it up, they would take it down. Drugs were being used inside there.”
