Jackson is the capital of Mississippi and is located in the central part of the State. The Jackson metropolitan area consists of Hinds, Madison, and Rankin Counties and has a population of 440,000. Known as “The Crossroads of the South” because of its geographic location, Jackson is only 31/2 hours from Memphis, 3 hours from New Orleans, 51/2 hours from Atlanta and 6 hours from Dallas. Primarily known for its southern hospitality and relaxed lifestyle, Jackson offers all of the amenities of a large city without the congestion or faster pace. With its year round mild climate and the presence of 33,000 area reservoir, outdoor recreational activities and sporting events abound. Cultural events are also plentiful including Broadway productions, symphony opera and international area exhibits. Its strong economic growth has allowed Jackson to attract Nissan, a Bass Pro Shop Outdoor World store, and serve as home to the Mississippi Braves, a AA farm team to the Atlanta Braves. The absence of HMO’s, coupled with a reasonable cost of living makes Mississippi a very attractive place to live and practice medicine.
