New medical facility coming to Diamondhead By WLOX Staff | May 10, 2021 at 5:45 PM CDT - Updated May 10 at 5:45 PM
DIAMONDHEAD, Miss. (WLOX) - Memorial Hospital is building a new medical facility in Diamondhead, at the corner of Veterans Drive and Aloha Drive. The $4.6 million project got a boost last week when the city council approved up to $1 million in tax-increment financing, or TIF bonds, for this project and future possible projects.
The 20,000-square-foot facility will bring 20 exam rooms, CT scan imaging, and a cancer treatment facility to Hancock County. Love’s Pharmacy will also operate out of the medical center.

For everyone involved in the response to Monday’s unfortunate gas leak around 11 a.m. in Dunkirk, there is plenty to applaud. Within minutes of the incident, first-responders particularly the city Fire Department took action to make sure everyone was safe.
Of greatest concern, however, was likely Dunkirk High School. On Mondays and Thursdays as part of the COVID protocols, there are students in the building. Classes, however, had to be disrupted as all were sent home due to the incident that took place in the Veterans Drive and Brigham Road area.
Dunkirk Police, National Fuel, Chautauqua County Fire Police, and East Dunkirk Fire also assisted at the scene and everything was in order for the most part by 12:30 p.m.
