A new ambulatory care facility has joined the Birmingham, Alabama skyline. Cooper Green Mercy Health Services Authority, an affiliate of the University of Alabama at Birmingham Health System, recently held a ribbon-cutting for the five-story outpatient clinic. The 211,000-square-feet clinic will provide ambulatory healthcare under an agreement between the Jefferson County and UAB Health System. The project team included Brasfield & Gorrie and Gresham Smith.
The urgent care clinic at Cooper Green offers a separate entrance allowing patients easy access and controlled entry during extended hours. The space has designated areas for well and sick patients, as well as a casting room for minor injuries. The urgent care clinic is available to anyone in need of care.
Cooper Green will now have its own MRI machine, allowing for complete imaging in house. The in-house pharmacy allows patients to receive medicine in a timely manner and offers a consultation room and vaccination area. A rehabilitation area has an outdoor patio with multiple surfaces for patients to practice navigating everyday challenges. An eye clinic with an optical shop offers glasses on-site. The hematology/oncology clinic now has individual infusion bays where patients will receive treatment in a semiprivate, comfortable space with natural light and entertainment.
Art pieces from local artists are installed on the first-floor lobby to celebrate Alabama. An outdoor walking trail is designed to provide a safe, beautiful respite outdoors.
