Kings Daughers Medical Center

What Kings Daughers Medical Center does

King's Daughters Medical Center (KDMC) is an independent, non-profit acute care hospital headquartered at 427 Highway 51 North in Brookhaven, Mississippi, serving the southwest Mississippi region. Founded in 1914 (with a 1922 date referenced on the website) and relocated to its current campus in 1964, the organization operates a hub-and-spoke delivery model combining a main inpatient hospital campus with at least seven affiliated outpatient clinics covering primary care, internal medicine, orthopedics, OB-GYN, pediatrics, retail pharmacy, and pediatric dentistry, all within the Brookhaven city limits. The service portfolio spans emergency medicine, surgery, obstetrics (including nine dedicated L&D suites and a self-contained C-section suite), cardiology, cancer care, orthopedics (delivered through a strategic affiliation with Capital Ortho), pediatrics, pain management via the KDMC Spine Care Group, physical therapy and rehabilitation, imaging (including ACR-designated lung cancer screening), sleep medicine, and a CDC-recognized diabetes prevention program. Supporting digital infrastructure includes an in-house retail pharmacy with a Meds-to-Beds discharge delivery program and a patient portal (myportal.kdmc.org); the core technology referenced is the Expanse Point of Care system.

The business model is fee-for-service healthcare delivery across inpatient, outpatient, emergency, surgical, and diagnostic services billed to patients, insurers, and government payers. Patient acquisition is sales-led through direct care at facilities, physician referrals, and a Find a Provider search on the website. Pricing includes transparent cash prices for select services ($125 for COVID-19 testing, $100 for lung cancer screening) and a 30% prompt-pay discount on out-of-pocket costs for both insured and uninsured patients, with financial assistance available for up to 240 days post-service. The organization is governed by a board of directors under CEO Scott Christensen (succeeding Alvin Hoover in September 2022) and supported by a KDMC Foundation established in 1998 as the philanthropic arm. The organization has no parent company, no venture or private equity backing, and no publicly disclosed financials.
