Jackson-Hinds Comprehensive Health Center was incorporated in 1970 as a nonprofit to develop health services for underserved communities in Jackson and surrounding areas, and it is the largest community health center in Central Mississippi, serving Hinds, Warren, and Copiah counties. It was the first community health center in Mississippi to operate a designated clinic for the homeless, provide optometry and dentistry, run an in-house pharmacy, offer X-ray and lab services, establish school-based clinics, use nurse practitioners for patient care, offer the Centering Program for pregnancy, infants, and newborns, offer telehealth at an FQHC, and provide physical therapy.

The center employs over 330 health professionals across its three-county service area and serves more than 51,000 patients. Its Women's Health Department provides OB/GYN services with 3-D ultrasound equipment for in-office exams, minor ambulatory surgical procedures, and an on-site Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist for high-risk pregnancy care. An on-site cardiologist handles evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, and management of cardiovascular diseases including hypertension and heart disease. School-based health services reach over 35 schools across the Hinds County and Jackson Public School Districts. A seventeen-member Board of Directors governs the organization.

The facility sits on W Northside Dr, about a tenth of a mile from Flowood Drive, with Harris Lake and Prairie Branch creek both within half a mile. Flynt Park, the Flowood Public Works Department, and Flowood Fire Department Station 2 are each roughly seven-tenths of a mile away.

With more than five decades of service in Jackson and a 4.30 rating across 350 reviews, Jackson-Hinds Comprehensive Health Center has built a long record of providing primary and preventive care to Mississippi families who might otherwise go without it.
