Emergency Medicine

USA Health University Hospital is an acute care facility serving as the major referral center for southwest Alabama, southeast Mississippi, and portions of northwest Florida. We offer centers for Level I trauma, burn, stroke, cardiovascular disease, and sickle cell disease. As a teaching and research facility for the Frederick P. Whiddon College of Medicine at the University of South Alabama, University Hospital plays a key role in the development of new technology, treatments, and the training of future healthcare professionals. 

Uniquely designed for patients ages 18 and under, the Pediatric Emergency Center at Children’s & Women’s Hospital is the region’s only healthcare facility dedicated to caring for sick and injured children 24 hours a day, every day. The newly expanded center opened in spring 2024 and is nearly 19,000 square feet, more than double the size of the former emergency department. It has achieved 100% compliance with the Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) Program's National Pediatric Readiness Project. The assessment tool empowers emergency departments to improve their capability to provide high-quality care for children, also known as being “pediatric ready."

The Emergency Department at USA Health Providence Hospital provides emergency care, including a Level III trauma center, to residents of west Mobile. It operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The USA Health Freestanding Emergency Department is a state-of-the-art facility that provides people who live and work in west Mobile convenient, 24/7 access to the most-advanced emergency and diagnostic care available in the region. 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.
