Specialized hospital services offered by UMC include: interventional MRI; the only level 3 neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in the state; separate medical, surgical, cardiac, neuroscience and pediatric ICUs; a heart station for diagnosis and treatment of heart disease; a heart failure clinic; heart, kidney, cornea and bone marrow transplant programs; a comprehensive stroke unit; state-of-the-art radiological imaging systems; a sleep disorders laboratory; and special pharmaceutical services.

“Since Windsor’s entry into the market this November, our Medicare products have been growing rapidly as Central Mississippi recognizes the benefits offered by Windsor Medicare Extra,” said Michael Bailey, CEO/President for Windsor Health Plan, Inc. "The Central Mississippi area represents an important market for us, and we're very excited to have the University of Mississippi Medical Center in our network."

The University Hospitals and Clinics include the University Hospital, Winfred L. Wiser Hospital for Women & Infants, Blair E.
