Coastal History
Coastal Family Health Center was founded on the principle that health care should be accessible to all residents of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and that these health care services should be provided in an effective and efficient manner being responsive to the needs of the population. We have been a part of the Gulf Coast communities for more than 30 years serving the residents of three counties, Jackson, Harrison and Hancock.
