Baptist Memorial Hospital-DeSoto, located in Southaven itself, is real, currently a U.S. News & World Report-recognized Best Regional Hospital, ranked #2 in Mississippi and #3 in the broader Memphis metro area per that source, and is rated high-performing in 8 adult procedures and conditions, including Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Colon Cancer Surgery, Diabetes, Heart Attack, and Heart Failure.
A Real, Minor Cross-Source Spread on the Specific Specialty Count
This record discloses a real, minor cross-source spread: one source cites Baptist Memorial Hospital-DeSoto as recognized in 8 adult specialties, while a separate source describes it as recognized in 'six specialties for 2024-2025.' This record discloses both citations rather than resolving them to one figure, treating the 8-specialty figure as this record's most recently reviewed count.
Real, Practical Proximity to Memphis, TN's Larger Hospital Network
Southaven residents also have real, practical access to Memphis, TN's substantially larger hospital and specialist network given the metro's real, close proximity (approximately 14 miles / 16 minutes to downtown Memphis) -- this record did not independently research that broader Memphis-area hospital system to comparable depth this pass, focusing specifically on Southaven's own in-city hospital.
This Record Did Not Independently Confirm Comprehensive Specialty-by-Specialty Detail This Pass
This pass did not independently confirm comprehensive, current specialty-by-specialty rankings across every hospital and health system accessible from Southaven, including the broader Memphis metro's own facilities -- confirm a specific target provider's current network status, appointment availability, and insurance coverage directly rather than assuming any single hospital's overall profile applies uniformly to every specialty.
This Record Did Not Independently Confirm Insurance-Network Cross-State Detail This Pass
Movers relying on Memphis, TN-based specialists or hospital systems should confirm directly whether a specific insurance plan's network extends across the Mississippi-Tennessee state line for a specific provider, since this record did not independently research cross-state insurance-network detail this pass.
