Children's and Women's Hospital
The University of South Alabama Children's and Women's Hospital is committed to being the foremost healthcare facility in our region for children and women. The facility is one of only a few freestanding  hospitals in the United States dedicated exclusively to the health care needs of children and women. Realizing that children have special physical and emotional needs, the hospital’s pediatric care is delivered in an environment designed to reduce the anxiety associated with hospitalization. Specialized programs which help fulfill this goal include: Child Life Program, Class Act Program, the Tree House, Sibling Preparation and the USS Hope, a nautically themed outpatient diagnostic and treatment center for children with cancer. USA Children's and Women's Hospital provides an excellent learning environment for rotations in the NICU, PICU, wards, ER, and the inpatient portion of subspecialty electives. |
