MHA president calls for Medicaid expansion as nearly half of rural hospitals flirt with closure
SUMMARY: Almost half of Mississippi's rural hospitals could face closure, according to a report from the Center for Healthcare Quality and Payment Reform. Out of the state's 74 rural hospitals, 34 are struggling financially and 25 are at risk of closing immediately or in the near future. Greenwood Leflore is currently the hospital closest to shutting down. The report also revealed that 66% of rural hospitals in Mississippi are currently operating at a loss. The president of the Mississippi Hospital Association suggests that expanding Medicaid would help support these hospitals.

SUMMARY: The No. 25 Southern Miss baseball team mounted an impressive comeback with seven unanswered runs to defeat in-state rival Ole Miss 7-4. The victory came in front of a historic crowd at Pete Taylor Park. Despite Ole Miss starting strong with a 4-0 lead, Southern Miss's offense sparked midway through the game. Carson Paetow and Nike Monistere's hits tied the game, and further scoring, including Ozzie Pratt's contribution, ensured a lead that Southern Miss held onto. The pitching staff, including JB Middleton and Colby Allen, kept Ole Miss at bay. Southern Miss's next games are against Texas State, while Ole Miss faces LSU.

SUMMARY: Mississippi State University is launching the Dr. Elton Mac Huddleston Rural Veterinarians Scholarship to address a shortage of large animal veterinarians in rural Mississippi. Supported by House Bill 1210, the program will provide scholarships to veterinary students who commit to practicing in underserved rural areas, with a focus on food supply animals. The incentive includes loan repayment assistance for current veterinarians seeking further large animal training. The university has received $18 million to upgrade its veterinary facilities in support of the initiative starting this fall, with penalties for recipients who don't fulfill their practice obligations.
