USA Health is Transforming Medicine™ along the Gulf Coast.
Beginning with the founding of the Frederick P. Whiddon College of Medicine in 1973, USA Health stands as the only academic health system along the upper Gulf Coast. It provides excellent healthcare to the region's diverse population at USA Health University Hospital and the renowned USA Health Children's & Women's Hospital, one of only a handful of freestanding hospitals in the country dedicated to the healthcare needs of children and women. In 2023, USA Health purchased Providence Hospital, providing convenient access to care for residents of west Mobile. Additionally, continuous research and technological advancements keep the USA Health Mitchell Cancer Institute at the forefront of cancer treatment and outcomes. The health system employs more than 7,200 clinical and nonclinical staff members, including some 180 academic physicians who serve dual roles treating patients and teaching the next generation of medical doctors.
