The USA Health Freestanding Emergency Department provides people who live and work in west Mobile convenient access to the most advanced emergency and diagnostic care available in the region.
Located near USA’s main campus, the facility operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Led by board-certified emergency medicine physicians, patient care is supported by significant imaging capabilities, including a CT scanner, an MRI, mammography, X-ray and ultrasound.
