Birmingham OB/Gyn has announced the development of the Birmingham OB/Gyn – Trussville Women's Health Center at The Pinnacle Shopping Center in Trussville, Alabama. The new facility will serve as a regional hub for women and families in eastern Jefferson, St. Clair, and Blount Counties, expanding services beyond the practice's current limited clinic schedule in Trussville.
The Trussville Women's Health Center will transition from a part-time office to a full-time regional hub, offering appointments Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Friday from 8:00 a.m. until noon. The expansion will add screening mammography, dedicated ultrasound services, Non-Stress Testing (NST), expanded laboratory services, and increased appointment availability. By consolidating these services under one roof, patients can complete annual wellness visits, mammograms, ultrasounds, lab work, and other preventive care in a single visit.
David Carmichael, Chief Executive Officer of Birmingham OB/Gyn, emphasized the patient-centered approach: "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 practice's investment aims to reduce unnecessary travel and improve access to preventive care, ultimately leading to better health outcomes.
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 program that identifies breast arterial calcifications (BAC)—a marker associated with cardiovascular disease—during routine mammograms. David Freedman, president and chief growth officer at Onsite, stated: "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." Women with significant BAC findings will be encouraged to follow up with their primary care physician or a cardiovascular specialist.
The center will complement Birmingham OB/Gyn's existing locations in Birmingham and Hoover and maintain its partnership with Grandview Medical Center, where physicians will continue delivering babies. Melissa Walker, Director of the Trussville Area Chamber of Commerce, welcomed the investment: "Trussville is thrilled to welcome this investment in women's healthcare. Our Chamber is excited to support a project that strengthens families and enhances quality of life."
Construction is expected to begin in the coming months, with 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 across eastern Alabama, bringing physicians, advanced diagnostics, and wellness services together in one convenient location.
