The Division of Health Facilities Licensure and Certification is the Mississippi regulatory agency responsible for regulating and licensing hospitals, nursing homes, hospices, and other specialized care facilities.
This division is also responsible for certifying health care facilities for participation in Medicare and Medicaid programs. Since the division requires health facilities to be in compliance with state and federal standards, the level of care delivered is continually reviewed and upgraded so that patients and residents can be better protected from abuse and neglect.
