ROLLING FORK – The University of Mississippi Medical Center worked with the Mississippi State Department of Health and Mississippi Emergency Management Agency to deploy a mobile field hospital to Rolling Fork after tornadoes devastated the state’s Delta and northern regions on March 24.

The fully operational mobile field hospital will serve as a temporary home for the Delta Health Center hospital and medical clinic system for both Sharkey and Issaquena counties.
