USA College of Medicine participates in Game Day 2019



Faculty, staff and students from the University of South Alabama College of Medicine were among the estimated 2,800 guests at USA Health Game Day on Oct. 3.

Under the USA Health tent in Jag City, guests enjoyed a barbecue tailgate dinner prior to the USA Jaguars vs. Georgia Southern University football game at Ladd-Peebles Stadium.

During the first quarter, representatives from the USA College of Medicine and USA Health were introduced on the field: Andrew Haiflich, director of trauma services at University Hospital; Mike Lin, Ph.D., assistant professor of physiology and cell biology and a researcher at the USA College of Medicine; Melody Petty, M.D., assistant professor of pediatrics at the USA College of Medicine and a pediatric hospitalist at Children’s & Women’s Hospital; William Richards, M.D., professor and chair of surgery at the USA College of Medicine and a bariatric surgeon with USA Health; Shelia Ross, DNP, stroke certification program coordinator at University Hospital; and Rene Sprague, MSN, a nurse in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Bridge Program coordinator at Children’s & Women’s Hospital.

USA Health has hosted Game Day for the past five years as a way to show appreciation to its employees and volunteers. This is the last year the event will be held at Ladd-Peebles Stadium, as the Jags will play in the new Hancock Whitney Stadium on USA’s campus in fall 2020.
