Jackson Medical Mall
Jackson Medical Mall is one of the largest medical malls in the US. In 1995, Dr. Aaron Shirley had a vision to transform this abandoned Jackson Mall to a large healthcare facility that strives for the highest quality healthcare for the urban poor of Jackson, Mississippi. In collaboration with Jackson State University, Tougaloo College, and the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMC), this ambitious vision became reality. Their mission is "to foster a holistic approach to healthcare for the underserved and to promote economic and community development in the Jackson Medical Mall area."
