Mississippi State Hospital

03/12/2026

In 1987, Friends of Mississippi State Hospital, Inc. was created as a volunteer organization whose primary function is to promote awareness of mental health issues and raise funds for projects that enhance the quality of life for individuals served at the hospital throughout the year.

Friends hosted the first Legislative Appreciation event 1988 as a way for employees, volunteers, advocates, and other members of the Friends group to personally express appreciation for the continuing support that our state legislators provide for Mississippi State Hospital and the Department of Mental Health.

We are so thankful for our Friends of MSH organization in hosting our 2026 Legislative Appreciation and Mental Health Day at the Capitol.
