About:

Welcome to Medical West! Our mission is to provide the highest quality health care in a patient-focused environment. Medical West consists of a newly renovated, 310-bed acute care hospital and 13 outpatient health centers serving the communities of West Jefferson County and West Hoover. The hospital offers a wide range of diagnostic, surgical, medical, and emergency services. Hospital services include: a 21-bed Emergency Department, Intensive Care Unit, Women's Center, Telemetry Nursing Unit, Geriatric-Psychiatric Unit, Surgical Services, Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility, and Advanced Wound Center.

In addition to the $15 million main campus renovation, the hospital recently became home to the state's first Freestanding Emergency Department (FED) off Highway 150 in Hoover. The new, 24,342 square foot FED consists of 10 exam rooms, including: two trauma rooms, CT, X-ray, ultrasound, EKG, laboratory and room for expansion.

Primary care physicians, specialists, and sub-specialists have offices located on the main campus in the Professional Office Building. Residents of Bessemer, Hoover, McCalla, Tannehill, Hueytown, and Vance benefit from the convenience of Medical West family practice and internal medicine health centers located in their neighborhoods.
