In a recent press release, dated July 18 2025, Dr. LouAnn Woodward stated that there are construction projects underway at UMMC Jackson
"Investments into construction projects for our Jackson facilities are significant: $204 million in new construction over the last two years, $76 million in facility upgrades and maintenance and annual spending of $4.5 million for leased properties. I won’t list all the projects, but a few key ones underway are the Alyce G. Clarke Center for Medically Fragile Children, a new clinic for The MIND Center and an adolescent acute inpatient psychiatric unit.
Also, we have several major projects scheduled to launch in Jackson over the next five years, representing an investment of $264 million. These commitments, which include a new Cancer Center and Research Institute, are vital for the health and well-being of Mississippians."
