#Humbled 🙏🏽 #BetterTogether The Best of Mississippi Awards in partnership with Business Empowered Mississippi is pleased to recognize Dr. Justin M Turner as one of Mississippi's Top 50 Men in Business! Dr. Turner is an internal medicine physician who joined MSDH in 2022 as Chief Medical Officer and also serves as Central Regional Health Officer. He oversees the clinical operations of the agency and serves as a liaison to the medical community and stakeholders. He has won numerous awards yearly including the 2023 Most Influential African American of Mississippi by Our Mississippi, the 2022 Mississippi Children’s Museum @MSChildsMuseum Community Champion Award; and the 2021 National Top 40 Under 40 by National Minority Quality Forum @NMQF . Dr. Justin Turner continues to lead by example and serves as a positive influence for men statewide. He has led his Internal Medicine practice in south Jackson to many success stories changing the lives of Mississippians who travel from a couple minutes to hundreds of miles away as he treats the whole person. Dr. Turner has been recognized yearly to include several Best Doctor of Jackson awards. Since becoming Chief Medical Officer for Mississippi State Department of Health @msdh he has traveled the state as he oversees all 86 county health departments. The mission at MSDH is to protect, advance, and promote the safety, and well-being of every Mississippian. Dr. Turner really values that mission in making sure the underserved gets the attention they need as well. He understands what works for the Pine Belt may not work for the #MississippiDelta. Dr. Turner leads a team that is helping to meet the community on a population level “where they are.” The mission isn't complete until Mississippi is no longer on the bottom in the majority of health categories. He believes the health of #Mississippi is directly correlated to the economy of Mississippi individually and collectively.
