Parts of Keesler Medical Center temporarily closed due to increased flea activity in the area

BILOXI, Miss. (WXXV)- Part of Keesler Medical Center will be temporarily closed starting today through next Tuesday.

The temporary closure affects primary care, dental, radiology, laboratory, and the main pharmacy.

A team member should contact you about rescheduling and offering virtual options.

If you need immediate care, go to the nearest ER or call 911.
