USA Health University Hospital
USA Health University Hospital is on the front line in delivering nationally recognized quality care to the area’s most critically ill patients, with the region’s only level I trauma center and a burn center that provides care from injury to recovery. The life-saving care that stroke and heart patients receive has been recognized year after year by the American Heart Association. University Hospital also plays a key role in the education of tomorrow’s healthcare providers, each year training hundreds of future professionals from the colleges of Medicine, Nursing and Allied Health Professions.
USA Health Children's & Women's Hospital
USA Health Children’s & Women’s Hospital, among a handful of freestanding hospitals in the United States devoted exclusively to the care of children and women, offers the region’s most advanced neonatal intensive care and pediatric intensive care units. The hospital delivers more babies annually than any other hospital in Mobile and specializes in high-risk OB-GYN patients. It also offers innovative programs for hospitalized children and teens to meet their developmental, educational, social and emotional needs.
USA Health Providence Hospital
USA Health Providence Hospital’s 349-bed hospital and array of family practice sites round out USA Health’s presence in west and north Mobile and Moss Point, Mississippi. Acquired in 2023, Providence provides 24/7 emergency care and a level III trauma center. It offers exceptional birthing services, surgical care and specialty care.
USA Health Mitchell Cancer Institute
Combining cutting-edge research with advanced care, the USA Health Mitchell Cancer Institute fights cancer from the laboratory bench to the patient’s bedside.

Two locations in Mobile and a third in Fairhope make its advanced treatment convenient for patients.
