By Jen EkmanUniversity of South Alabama

Following a tour of the University of South Alabama Medical Center on Aug. 9, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey announced that $4 million from an economic development bond issue will be directed to the cost of renovating and expanding the hospital’s Level 1 Trauma Center.

The funds will allow USA Medical Center to expand and modernize the current space, enhancing the hospital’s ability to accommodate patients with traumatic injuries and respond to mass casualty situations in the region.

Surrounded by community and business leaders, Ivey recognized the need for expansion of USA Medical Center’s existing Emergency Department.“We are proud to support the work of USA Medical Center as the region’s only Level 1 Trauma Center,” Ivey said. “We depend on this care for our citizens. This service is also vital to our state’s economic development efforts, as corporations demand this level of care when they look to relocate to our state.”
