HEALTH CARE IN SYLACAUGA, ALABAMA

 The Coosa Valley Medical Center has been a source of healing and wholeness in Sylacauga since 1945. Formerly known as the Sylacauga Hospital, it was the only hospital allowed to remain open during World War II because the government saw a need for health care in the community.

It is a 148-bed acute care facility and includes a 75-bed long-term care facility. The medical center has a 24-hour physician staffed emergency room; a full range of women's services including obstetrics and gynecology; pediatrics; internal medicine; family practice; cardiology; general surgery; orthopedic surgery; urology; nuclear medicine and a full range of diagnostic services such as CT Scan, MRI, X-ray and laboratory.

Coosa Valley Medical Center is especially proud of its recently opened Ambulatory Care Center. This $11 million expansion tripled the size of the emergency room, enlarged and improved admitting facilities, and enhanced the outpatient pre-admission testing areas and operating areas.
