Learn moreA real, local, expandable hospital
Madison Hospital, located within the city of Madison in western Madison County, opened February 28, 2012, as a member of Huntsville Hospital Health System. It currently operates 90 beds with a stated capacity to grow to about 200 -- real, local inpatient capacity, not just an outpatient clinic.
Real, local physician and urgent care access
Beyond the hospital itself, Madison residents have access to Huntsville Hospital Physician Care locations (Highway 72 West and the Lanier Road campus), a Huntsville Hospital Urgent Care location on Hughes Road, and a Lab Patient Service Center on the Madison Hospital campus -- genuine, local, day-to-day healthcare access.
Practical access to the region's flagship hospital
Madison sits within the same regional Huntsville Hospital Health System as the 881-bed Huntsville Hospital flagship -- the 2nd-largest hospital in Alabama and North Alabama's regional referral center (detailed further in this dataset's companion huntsville-al.js record) -- giving Madison residents practical access to specialty and higher-acuity care beyond what Madison Hospital itself offers.
Additional specialty access via Crestwood
Crestwood operates an outpatient center in Madison offering 3D/2D mammography, bone densitometry, and breast ultrasound, with the 180-bed Crestwood Medical Center in Huntsville available for inpatient and further specialty services -- a real, additional healthcare-system option beyond Huntsville Hospital Health System alone.
