Brian Norris recently was appointed administrator of ambulatory services for USA Health at the University of South Alabama.
In his new position, Norris will oversee the day-to-day operations of USA Physicians Group, the region’s only academic practice and the region’s largest multi-specialty practice with clinics in Mobile, Baldwin and Washington counties.
“I am honored to take on this new role with USA Health,” Norris said. “I hope to build on the work already being done and expand the roles of the clinics in the community. To do that, we’ll continue to focus on the patient experience from the time of a referral until someone is hopefully on the road to recovery. We want to provide more people with quality health care.”
Since 2015, Norris served as a health system assistant administrator responsible for departments including surgery, trauma, burns, operating rooms, anesthesia, surgical clinics, orthopaedics, neurology, neurosciences and pediatric surgery clinics at USA Health.
Norris earned his bachelor’s degree in management from the University of Mobile and his master’s degree in ethics/bioethics from Spring Hill College.
Before joining USA Health, Norris was a regional vice president of operations at Jackson Healthcare in Alpharetta, Georgia. He has more than 20 years of executive level experience in healthcare settings including a previous leadership position at Providence Hospital in Mobile. His management work in ethical decision making, servant leadership, patient satisfaction and productivity has been featured in several national publications that detail the successful work of medical groups across the United States.
