Thanks to a generous gift by UAB St. Vincent’s Foundation Advisory Board Member Jim Wadsworth and his wife Debbie, UAB St. Vincent’s Chilton has expanded its Emergency Department (ED). During a recent ceremony, the ED Waiting Room was named in honor of Jim’s close friend and former colleague, Wayne Puckett.
The project was also funded, in part, by the Chilton County Healthcare Authority. The ED is now classified as a mid-sized ED. This expansion continues UAB St. Vincent’s Chilton’s mission of delivering high-quality healthcare for our community.
