The University of South Alabama on Nov. 17, 2010, broke ground on a major expansion of USA Children's and Women's Hospital. The $72.6 million expansion will add more than 195,000 square feet to the existing hospital, almost doubling its size and allowing a higher level of care for patients and their families.
Among the speakers at the groundbreaking was Dr. Samuel J. Strada, dean of the USA College of Medicine. "The expansion will provide greater opportunities for our medical students and residents to learn from their enhanced exposure to more patients with childhood diseases and medical areas of women's health," he said. "At the same time, they will be working with our faculty in state-of-the-art facilities."
