Baptist South is a 492-bed, highly regarded acute care regional referral center, providing care for a very large portion of Central Alabama. It is designated a Level II trauma center, but based on acuity and volume, functions much like a Level I trauma center. Unlike many level 1 trauma centers, the Emergency physicians run the trauma assessments and procedures with Trauma surgery backup. If you want to learn how to manage a trauma this is the place for you. It is also the region's only Comprehensive Stroke Center, offering both thrombolysis and interventional thrombectomy. And, it is the area's largest Cardiac Center with full access to cardiac cath lab and cardiothoracic surgery. Baptist South also provides behavioral health services through Crossbridge Behavioral Health Center.
