Breaking Barriers in Healthcare Access

Mississippi healthcare statistics reveal critical gaps. Nearly 42% of residents lack insurance coverage. Medicaid expansion remains unavailable. Traditional healthcare systems leave patients: particularly Black women and people of color: feeling rushed, unheard, dismissed.

Dr. Hall observed these patterns throughout her decade serving Hattiesburg communities. Patients reported 15-minute appointments. Limited physician contact. Escalating costs. Impersonal treatment.

Hall Health launched May 2025 to directly address these systemic failures.
