Baptist Memorial Health Care has named Mac Flynt administrator/CEO of OCH Regional Medical Center. Flynt has been the administrator/CEO of Baptist Memorial Hospital-Attala and Baptist Memorial Hospital-Yazoo since April 2023. He will take the top leadership position for OCH on Wednesday, Oct. 1.

Baptist and the Oktibbeha County board of supervisors signed a definitive purchase agreement for OCH in August 2025. Baptist agreed to a $55 million purchase price along with committing to other investments, as well as offering employment to all staff in good standing, to help transform the hospital and ensure access to sustainable and high-quality health care in the area.
“It is a great honor to join OCH Regional Medical Center’s leadership team at such an exciting time,” said Flynt. “I look forward to meeting the talented staff and collaborating with them to advance exceptional health care for the community. Together, we will make a lasting difference in the lives and health of Oktibbeha County and surrounding areas.”
