Birmingham OB/Gyn has announced plans to develop the Birmingham OB/Gyn – Trussville Women's Health Center at The Pinnacle Shopping Center in Trussville, Alabama. The new facility aims to expand access to comprehensive women's healthcare for women and families in eastern Jefferson, St. Clair, and Blount Counties, one of Alabama's fastest-growing regions.
The Trussville Women's Health Center represents a significant expansion from the practice's current limited clinic schedule in Trussville to a full-time regional hub. Services will be offered Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Friday from 8:00 a.m. until noon. The new center will add screening mammography, dedicated ultrasound services, Non-Stress Testing (NST), expanded laboratory services, and increased appointment availability. This will allow patients to complete annual wellness visits, screening mammography, ultrasound, laboratory testing, and other preventive healthcare services during a single visit.
David Carmichael, Chief Executive Officer of Birmingham OB/Gyn, stated, "This project isn't simply about opening a larger office. It's about making it easier for women to receive comprehensive healthcare closer to home. The women and families we serve have shown us through their travel patterns that they value convenient access to comprehensive women's healthcare, and this investment allows us to better meet those needs for years to come."
A key feature of the center is the addition of 3D screening mammography through a partnership with Onsite Women's Health. In addition to routine breast cancer screening, the center will offer Mammo with heart, an AI-enabled clinical program that identifies breast arterial calcifications (BAC) during routine mammograms. BAC is a marker associated with cardiovascular disease, allowing for enhanced preventive care. Women with positive BAC findings will be encouraged to follow up with their primary care physician or a cardiovascular specialist.
David Freedman, president and chief growth officer at Onsite Women's Health, commented, "Onsite Women's Health is proud to partner with Birmingham OB/Gyn to expand access to innovative breast health and imaging services for women throughout eastern Jefferson, St. Clair and Blount counties. By bringing advanced 3D screening mammography and our Mammo with heart program directly into the practice, we're making it more convenient for women to prioritize both their breast and heart health in a trusted, familiar setting."
The Trussville Women's Health Center will complement Birmingham OB/Gyn's existing locations in Birmingham and Hoover and continue its partnership with Grandview Medical Center, where physicians will continue providing obstetrical care and delivering babies. The center is designed to serve women throughout eastern Jefferson County, St. Clair County, and Blount County.
Melissa Walker, Director of the Trussville Area Chamber of Commerce, welcomed the investment, stating, "Trussville is thrilled to welcome this investment in women's healthcare. Birmingham OB/Gyn and Onsite Women's Health are bringing vital, convenient services closer to home for women in Trussville and the surrounding communities, and our Chamber is excited to support a project that strengthens families and enhances quality of life across the communities we proudly serve."
Construction is expected to begin in the coming months, with additional updates and a grand opening announcement to follow. The Trussville Women's Health Center represents Birmingham OB/Gyn's commitment to expanding access to comprehensive women's healthcare, bringing physicians, advanced diagnostics, preventive screening, and wellness services together in one convenient location.
