Corinth offers convenient access to Memphis, Nashville and Birmingham and is located just 20 minutes away from Pickwick Lake, a beautiful recreational lake with over 90 miles of shoreline.  With some of the best public schools in the area, Corinth is an ideal location to raise your children.  Corinth is not just for individuals or couples with children, but for anyone. Our town is growing, and with many young adults moving into the area, there are many things to do.  Our GME department, hospital and the community as a whole offer a family-like atmosphere.  Our community and hospital have a "family sense" about them. Uniquely, Corinth is growing in size and offerings, but maintains the small town feel that makes one feel right at home. 

MRHC is no stranger to growth and innovation, we boast  state-of-the-art equipment such as the 1.5 large bore MRI, three 128 slice CT scanners, two Spect CT Nuclear Cameras, digital mammography and stereo tactic biopsy. Most recently, we have added a DaVinci 5 robot to our facility.  We have an updated  Emergency Department, Cardiology area, Lab area and centralized registration.  We are extremely proud of our facility and the services that we provide to our patients.

Magnolia Regional Health Center provides care to patients in Alcorn County and the seven surrounding counties in northeast Mississippi and three counties in southern Tennessee. MRHC is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of the surrounding community by blending our passion for very good care with the use of advanced medical technology to deliver the best possible care... One Patient at a Time.

With some of the best public schools in the area, Corinth is an ideal location to raise your children. If you don't have children, it's also the ideal community for singles/couples as there are several fun things to do in town. Our community and hospital have a "quaint" sense about them, and it's easy to find your path in our vibrant community. 

MRHC is currently expanding the Graduate Medical Education Department that currently has 23 Internal Medicine Residents, 18 Emergency Medicine Residents, and 6 Osteopathic Cardiology fellows, along with medical students.
