USA Health is making history right now, and for our patients that means another chance
at tomorrow.
— Darrian Rester
As a critical care nurse, Darrian has learned that life is precious and tomorrow is never guaranteed. When USA Health Providence Hospital received funding to launch an ECMO program, the first in the area, Darrian was ready to help. ECMO provides advanced life support for critically ill patients. For Darrian, a South nursing grad, being part of this new program means giving some of the sickest patients another chance at tomorrow.
Bold Begins with You
A healthier community begins with people willing to step forward — nurses like Darrian who answer the call, physicians who pursue what’s possible and supporters who invest in lifesaving care. Your gift helps USA Health expand access to advanced treatment, equips caregivers with the tools they need, and creates new possibilities for patients and families across our region.
When you invest in healthcare, you invest in the future of the Gulf Coast.
For Darrian, bold care means giving critically ill patients another chance at tomorrow. For USA Health, it means continually asking what’s possible and having the expertise, technology and determination to make it happen. From the caregivers at the bedside to the innovations that transform treatment, every investment helps build a healthier future for patients, families and communities across the Gulf Coast.
Campaign Pillar: Healthcare & Medical Innovation
At the University of South Alabama, bold care transforms lives. It happens when a nurse steps forward to care for a critically ill patient. When a physician explores a new treatment. When a researcher asks what’s possible. And when our community invests in the people and ideas that can change what comes next. Through USA Health, investments in healthcare and medical innovation help turn those bold ideas into advanced care, new discoveries and more hope for patients across the Gulf Coast.
Our development team is ready to support donors every step of the way.
