In 2007, legislation passed to include PAs among those healthcare providers who are granted civil immunity when providing emergency care, such as during the Hurricane Katrina aftermath. MAPA would like to thank everyone who participated in the hard-fought process to get PAs licensed in Mississippi. We are continuing to grow in numbers every year, and our efforts to expand the PA profession in Mississippi have been fruitful. With patience and persistence, not to mention continued excellence in health care, PAs will flourish here.
