Founded in 1948, CDF is the exclusive agency charged with providing chamber of commerce, economic development, and planning and property management services for Tupelo/Lee County, Mississippi. The Community Development Foundation (CDF) was organized in 1948 in the Blue Room of Hotel Tupelo by community leaders who saw the need for a unified effort to coordinate the economic and community developme

nt activities of the region. CDF has been characterized by many as an organization that is at the center of innovation, as well as the most significant creative force in rural American economic and community development. CDF's goals and objectives are accomplished through the efforts of members appointed to committees operating under one of CDF's three divisions: Community & Chamber Services Division, Economic Development Division and Planning Services Division.

✨SEPTEMBER MEMBER SPOTLIGHT | Oceans Behavioral Hospital Tupelo ✨
Oceans Behavioral Hospital Tupelo provides compassionate, specialized mental health care for adolescents, older adults, and families throughout North Mississippi.

Our inpatient programs offer a safe, structured environment for individuals facing depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, trauma, grief, dementia-related challenges, behavioral changes, and other serious psychiatric conditions. Our intensive outpatient program provides continued therapy and support while allowing patients to remain at home and connected to their families.

At Oceans, every patient is more than a diagnosis. Our providers, nurses, therapists, social workers, and support staff work together to create individualized treatment plans that address each person’s emotional, medical, social, and family needs.

We understand that asking for help can be difficult. That is why we meet every patient and family with dignity, patience, kindness, and respect. When someone feels overwhelmed or without hope, Oceans is here to help them find a path forward.

We are proud to serve North Mississippi—not simply as a hospital, but as a trusted community partner committed to restoring hope, strengthening families, and helping people heal close to home.
