Fanny Meisler Trauma Center

Project Overview

White-Spunner Construction was selected as the general contractor by USA Health to renovate, expand, and modernize the current trauma center, enhancing the hospital’s ability to accommodate patients with traumatic injuries and respond to mass casualty situations in the region. The expansion triples the number of beds and provides new, state-of-the-art medical equipment. The USA Fanny Meisler Trauma is the only Level 1 Trauma and Burn Center in southern Alabama. They receive patients from southern Alabama, southeast Mississippi, and portions of northwest Florida.

University Hospital is the only academic medical center in the region where patients can receive the highest level of care when a traumatic injury occurs. The hospital’s designated trauma team – which includes around-the-clock trauma surgeons, cardiovascular surgeons, and neurosurgeons – treats an average of five critically injured patients a day, which is more than 1,700 people a year. As the go-to facility for the area’s toughest emergencies, University Hospital is capable of providing total care for every aspect of injury, from prevention through rehabilitation.
