Birmingham OB/Gyn has announced plans to develop the Birmingham OB/Gyn – Trussville Women's Health Center at The Pinnacle Shopping Center in Trussville, Alabama, marking a significant expansion of women's healthcare services for eastern Jefferson, St. Clair, and Blount Counties. The new center will transform the practice's current limited Trussville clinic into a full-time regional hub, offering comprehensive obstetrical and gynecologic care, dedicated ultrasound services, screening mammography, on-site laboratory services, and non-stress testing.
According to David Carmichael, Chief Executive Officer of Birmingham OB/Gyn, the project aims to make high-quality care more convenient for one of Alabama's fastest-growing regions. "This project isn't simply about opening a larger office. It's about making it easier for women to receive comprehensive healthcare closer to home," Carmichael said in a press release. The center will operate Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Friday from 8:00 a.m. until noon.
A key feature of the new center is the addition of 3D screening mammography through a partnership with Onsite Women's Health. In addition to routine breast cancer screening, the center will offer Mammo with heart, an AI-enabled clinical program that identifies breast arterial calcifications (BAC) during mammograms—a marker associated with cardiovascular disease. David Freedman, president and chief growth officer at Onsite, stated: "By bringing advanced 3D screening mammography and our Mammo with heart program directly into the practice, we're making it more convenient for women to prioritize both their breast and heart health in a trusted, familiar setting." Women with concerning BAC findings will be referred to primary care or cardiovascular specialists for follow-up.
The expansion reflects Birmingham OB/Gyn's commitment to integrating preventive services. Patients can now complete annual wellness visits, mammography, ultrasound, and lab testing in a single visit. The center will complement existing locations in Birmingham and Hoover and continue the practice's partnership with Grandview Medical Center for obstetrical care and deliveries.
Melissa Walker, Director of the Trussville Area Chamber of Commerce, welcomed the investment: "Trussville is thrilled to welcome this investment in women's healthcare. Birmingham OB/Gyn and Onsite Women's Health are bringing vital, convenient services closer to home for women in Trussville and the surrounding communities." The center is designed to serve women across eastern Jefferson, St. Clair, and Blount Counties, reducing travel for specialized care.
Construction is expected to begin in the coming months, with further updates and a grand opening announcement to follow. The Trussville Women's Health Center represents a strategic investment in preventive care and convenience, potentially improving health outcomes by making it easier for women to access comprehensive services. For leaders in business and technology, this announcement underscores the growing role of AI in preventive medicine and the importance of strategic partnerships in expanding healthcare access.
