USA Health celebrated in November 2022 the dedication of the Mapp Family Campus Medical Office Building, a 50,000-squarefoot structure that anchors the health system’s largest presence in Baldwin County.

Standing three stories tall, the facility is home to Baldwin Family Medicine and USA Health specialty care providers who are uniquely qualified to meet the healthcare needs of people in the region. Specialties include endocrinology, urology, gastroenterology, urogynecology, colorectal surgery and general surgery. Pediatric specialties include surgery, urology, gastroenterology, cardiology, endocrinology and pulmonary. The building also houses a full array of imaging technology, including X-ray, mammography, ultrasound and CT.

“Collaborating with community physicians, providers from USA Health are bringing their specialized expertise to meet the healthcare needs of people in the region,” said Owen Bailey, M.S.H.A., chief executive officer and senior associate vice president for medical affairs at USA Health. “As the only academic healthcare system in the region, USA Health continues to expand relationships with community providers and other partners as we strive to provide increased access to the care that people need and deserve.”

It’s estimated that 50 percent of Baldwin County residents live within 15 miles of the Mapp Family Campus, located at the intersection of state highways 181 and 104 in Fairhope.

Within the facility, USA Health physicians and other providers incorporate health and wellness strategies for patients along with traditional medicine. A teaching kitchen is included in the building, giving patients and caregivers the opportunity to engage in healthy-eating classes with the goal of helping people lead longer, better lives.

“The Mapp Family Campus will be another important location for educating and training the next generation of healthcare providers,” said John V. Marymont, M.D., M.B.A., vice president for medical affairs and dean of the Frederick P. Whiddon College of Medicine. “Having this additional site also will allow USA Health to help alleviate some of the healthcare provider shortages being faced in our region.”

Louis and Melinda Mapp donated 8 acres of land for the campus – a continuation of the family’s longtime investment in academic medicine. Later this year, a 24,000-square-foot ambulatory surgery center is scheduled to be completed, which will round out the campus as a powerhouse for medical services and medical education in Baldwin County.
