About USA Health Cardiovascular Surgery
We're now part of USA Health
USA Health Cardiovascular Surgery, previously known as Cardiovascular Associates, P.C., joined USA Health in 2024. We performed Mobile’s first open-heart procedure in 1969, and our board-certified cardiovascular surgeons continue to perform procedures for patients with heart, lung, esophageal and vascular conditions from our conveniently located office in Midtown.
Continuing a tradition of excellent care
“We are excited to expand our cardiovascular surgery services as we continue to meet the healthcare needs of people in the Gulf Coast region,” said Owen Bailey, MSHA, FACHE, chief executive officer for USA Health and senior associate vice president for medical affairs. “We have known and worked alongside these excellent surgeons for years, and we welcome them to USA Health.”
