National Physician Assistant (PA) Week is celebrated every year from October 6-12. Mississippi Baptist Medical Center recognizes and appreciates the vital role of our Physician Assistants. PAs are advanced practice medical professionals who diagnose illnesses, develop and manage treatment plans, prescribe medications, and serve as a patient’s healthcare provider in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team.
Eugene A. Stead Jr., MD, of the Duke University Medical Center, brought together the first PA class to improve and expand access to healthcare in 1965. More than 50 years later, the profession continues to grow, just as healthcare delivery continues to evolve.
Today and every day we celebrate Physician Assistants at Baptist! Thank you.

October is typically a good time to think about respiratory health because of the start of flu season, but in 2020 respiratory health is of particular importance because of COVID-19. Respiratory Therapists and other health professionals around the world have been working tirelessly all year to support the lung health of those affected by the pandemic, putting themselves on the front lines of the fight against the virus.
