** About Brookwood Medical Center **
In 1973, Brookwood Medical Center was founded by a group of physicians who wanted to offer our community exceptional healthcare with high standards for quality and service. Almost 40 years later, that same commitment remains today. From building Alabama’s first women’s hospital and achieving numerous quality distinctions and awards for our care to offering technology and programs that help improve the lives of our patients, we consistently strive to set the standard for our healthcare community.
Brookwood Medical Center is a 631-bed full service medical facility. More than 900 privately practicing physicians treat and refer patients to Brookwood. Over 200 physicians practice in offices located in one of the four professional office buildings connected to the hospital. In addition to our physicians, we have a workforce of over 2,500 employees and volunteer staff that support the medical center.
Brookwood is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations and is licensed by the Alabama State Department of Health.
