Jackson, Miss. — The Mississippi State Department of Health is excited to announce the new MSDH Healthy App that is now available for download. The mobile app allows for easy access to the many services and resources we provide. The app is free and was designed to make public health services and essential information readily available on smartphones and mobile devices.
Resources include:
- Real-time alerts for health and weather emergencies, disease outbreaks and public health advisories
- Appointment booking for health services and screenings
- Find a Health Department location
- Vital records and public records requests
- Health resources and more.
“Our new Healthy App was designed to make accessing our services easier by putting everything at your fingertips,” said Dr. Dan Edney, MSDH Executive Director and State Health Officer. “It’s not just for the patients we serve in our clinics but for all Mississippians, because our priority is keeping the entire state healthy and safe. So please, download the app.”
Tyler Technologies worked closely with MSDH to develop the comprehensive health companion with one thing in mind: creating a convenient and comprehensive mobile solution to safeguard the public’s wellbeing by keeping them informed and empowered.
“The new Healthy App combines an abundance of valuable resources with wide-spread accessibility, enabling the potential to reach all Mississippians,” said Tina Wells, general manager of Tyler’s Mississippi state enterprise. “The app helps disseminate information and resources that are vital to our community while simultaneously empowering Mississippians to take control of their health.”
MSDH expects several positive outcomes to result from the new app, including increased user engagement, improved access to services, enhanced public health awareness, better health outcomes and a reduction in barriers to care.
