With an array of meeting spaces and facilities to suit gatherings of all sizes, the Hub City offers an impressive set of group activities too. Hattiesburg, the state’s second largest city, is definitely Old South, with well-preserved historic homes and a typical Southern town core with shaded streets.

We have been nationally recognized for patient safety and quality care. Merit Health Wesley is the area’s first and only accredited Chest Pain Center and the only hospital in the area accredited for heart failure care. We work hard every day to be a place of healing, caring and connection for patients and families in the community we call home. Merit Health Wesley has been designated by Baby-Friendly® USA as a baby-friendly hospital. This means that mothers receive information that helps them make the best decisions for infant feeding and supports them in achieving personal feeding goals. We also have a Level III NICU to provide specialized care for critically ill or premature newborns. The hospital is a dynamic entity, continually changing and growing in size, service and scope to meet the needs of South Mississippi. Even with these changes, one thing has—and always will—remain the same: our commitment to providing compassionate, quality healthcare for the changing needs in your life.
