Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center was recently re-designated as Baby-Friendly!

Located in McComb, Mississippi, Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center (SMRMC) is dedicated to providing high-quality, compassionate care for women and families. The hospital enrolled in CHAMPS in June 2017, earned its Baby-Friendly designation in December 2019, and was proudly re-designated in 2025.

“The Baby-Friendly designation is a rigorous, third-party process that verifies SMRMC’s commitment to evidence-based care for infant feeding and mother-baby bonding,” shares Angela Parker, CLC. “We have the honor of sharing in the precious early stages of family growth and development by adhering to the Baby-Friendly guidelines and protecting, supporting, and promoting a breastfeeding community.”

Congratulations, Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center!
