CMMC the first hospital in Jackson to offer safer radiation treatments, including the state’s only gamma knife; one of the first hospitals in the nation to add a PET/CT scanner to its nuclear medicine department; the first hospital in Mississippi to offer several comprehensive programs including weight management, balance and hearing and wound management; the first hospital to introduce a pediatric hospitalist program; and, to offer digital mammography combined with a special computer-aided detection system.
In 1987, CMMC began providing radiation oncology and diagnostic services through its Cancer Care Center. Fourteen years later, the hospital opened the Robert R. Smith, M.D., Gamma Knife Center, which houses the state’s only gamma knife for patients with inoperable brain tumors.
1993 saw the addition of the Behavioral Health program to the hospital. The program expanded and now includes a Geripsych unit. Our psychiatry services provide a structured, intensive, physician-supervised program for adults and seniors with behavioral problems and emotional illness.
In 1995, CMMC unveiled the Wound Management Center as an outpatient department with a nationally recognized Diabetes Management Program. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy was added to provide comprehensive wound treatment.
CMMC opened the Cardiac Care Center in 1996. It now has two high-tech cardiac catheterization laboratories. An Electrophysiology Lab was added in 2003 to complement existing cardiac services and to allow CMMC’s cardiac specialists to treat patients with cardiac arrhythmias by performing interventional cardiac catheterization procedures and cardiac surgery.
CMMC organized a hospitalist program in 2000 in response to physician requests. Four adult hospitalists and two pediatric hospitalists provide 24/7 medical care to patients during their hospital stay, partnering with patients’ primary care physicians to coordinate medical services and answer questions for patients and their families.
CMMC became the first hospital in the state to introduce a pediatric hospitalist program in 2002. In 2002, CMMC became one of the nation’s first hospitals to add a PET/CT scanner to its Nuclear Medicine Department to enhance its cancer and cardiology programs.
CMMC celebrated the expansion and creation of several services in 2003, including a new, beautifully renovated and expanded 14-bed pediatric unit. The Behavioral Health Center expanded its adult services to include a freshly renovated 18-bed Senior Care Program. A digital Sleep Diagnostic Center and a Pulmonary Function Laboratory were also established.
In 2004, CMMC became the state’s first medical facility to offer digital mammography combined with a special computer-aided detection system, R2 ImageChecker®, for its extensive Women’s Services program entitled, Sorella – A Comprehensive Breast Health Center.

In 2007, CMMC invested nearly $3 million to upgrade its radiation oncology program by adding Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), an advanced mode of high-precision radiotherapy that uses computer-controlled x-ray accelerators to deliver precise radiation doses to a malignant tumor or specific areas within the tumor while minimizing radiation exposure of surrounding normal tissues. This upgrade, along with the gamma knife, makes CMMC the premiere choice for radiosurgery treatment.

This personalized care is provided by healthcare professionals who are dedicated to answering questions and providing the necessary tools in order to assist in the most optimal recovery.Also in October, The Robert R. Smith, M.D. Gamma Knife Center at CMMC replaced the state’s first and only gamma knife with the very latest technology for patients who have brain tumors, vascular malformations and facial pain – the Leksell Gamma Knife® PERFEXION™.
