The nearest ER is at least 20 miles away from Chickasaw County
SUMMARY: Trace Regional Hospital in Houston, Mississippi is reopening its emergency room after a long closure, now under the management of Quentin Whitwell, CEO of Progressive Health Group, who purchased the area’s only hospital. This decision was influenced by an incident where a local woman couldn’t find an open emergency room. Residents of Chickasaw County, like Supervisor Russell Brooks, appreciate the access to local emergency care, cutting down on the need to travel long distances in critical moments. Whitwell acknowledges that while not all services are offered, the hospital will ensure patients receive the necessary care through transfer agreements with larger facilities.

Democrat Ty Pinkins is outspent as he tries to unseat Republican Sen. Roger Wicker in Mississippi
SUMMARY: Democrat Ty Pinkins is campaigning to unseat Republican U.S. Senator Roger Wicker in Mississippi, a challenging task in a state with no Democratic Senate representation since 1989. Pinkins, a military veteran and attorney, has garnered limited financial support and endorsement, even from prominent Democrats like Rep. Bennie Thompson. He emphasizes economic equity and reproductive rights in his campaign, claiming to jog about 900 miles to raise awareness. In contrast, Wicker has raised significantly more funds and focuses on military expansion. The campaign showcases stark differences in political ideologies and priorities, particularly on issues like abortion rights.
