Timeline
Grandview Medical Center has been Moving Healthcare Forward since 2015, but the journey to our Grandview Parkway campus began well before that with a vision to improve access to healthcare in the Birmingham metropolitan area and all of Central Alabama. After many years of planning, advocating for the relocation and building the new hospital, Grandview Medical Center opened its doors. Relocating what was then Trinity Medical Center to the 280 corridor created a new and needed option for quality healthcare and fueled economic development and growth in the area. When the hospital opened, it was the first of many milestones that represented our commitment to the community and continued growth.
2015
Grandview Medical Center opens off of Highway 280
On October 10, 2015, 98 patients were moved from Trinity Medical Center to the new Grandview Medical Center. The facility housed 372 licensed beds and was poised for future growth. Grandview Physicians Plaza, a seven-story, 200,000-square-foot medical office building, opened concurrently with the hospital. The building is now fully-leased by employed and independent physician practices and houses several hospital-based ambulatory services.
Alabama Cardiovascular Group is acquired
Alabama Cardiovascular Group, a 12-physician Cardiology group, was the first of several established physician practice acquisitions and relocations. By selectively acquiring practices and aligning with many other independent practices, Grandview Medical Center quickly expanded service lines and increased access to specialty care.
2016
Women's Health Specialists of Birmingham is acquired
Women's Health Specialists of Birmingham, a 4-physician OB/GYN group, was the first of several established OB/GYN practices to commit to relocating to Grandview. This acquisition quickly expanded the hospital's women's services line and began to shift the obstetrics market in Birmingham toward Grandview.
2018
Grandview Cancer Center opens
Located on the Grandview Medical Center campus, the free-standing, 25,000 square foot Grandview Cancer Center was designed to help patients more easily access multiple cancer care treatment options and resources in one convenient location.
2019
Hospital expands to 402 beds
Grandview Medical Center constructed the 12th floor as a new medical/surgical floor, adding 30 beds to the hospital's licensed count to meet the growing demand for services.
Women's services expands
As demand for women's services increased, Grandview Medical Center added three labor and delivery rooms and two dedicated women's operating rooms in 2019 in what would be the first of several expansions in maternity care and Women's Services.
2020
Grandview Endoscopy Center opens
The four-room gastroenterology ambulatory surgery center opened as a partnership with 7 local Gastroenterologists to provide quality, convenient endoscopic services on the Grandview Medical Center campus.
2021
Women's services expands (again)
Women's services continued to grow, with 2,000 babies born at Grandview Medical Center in 2020. To support growth and accommodate new moms and babies, Grandview added seven new labor and delivery rooms and 12 post-partum rooms in 2021. This project was part of an overall 32-bed expansion that increased the hospital's licensed bed count to 434.
2020-2022
Colorectal, Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgical programs expand
Adding specialty providers and expanding service lines was viewed as critical to provide area residents with the care they need, close to home. Grandview made significant strides in expanding surgical programs in key specialties during this time.
2023
Grandview Physicians Plaza II opens
The five-story, 140,000-square-foot medical office building represented a multi-million dollar investment to support significant growth. The building was designed for convenient patient access and a positive patient experience, with covered parking and a connector to other buildings on Grandview's campus. Grandview Physicians Plaza II will be fully-occupied as of April 2026 and will include three surgical centers, a diagnostic center, the Alabama Cardiovascular Group practice, and the Grandview Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit.
Trussville Freestanding Emergency Department opens
The 12,500-square-foot facility was the first of its kind in the Trussville community, providing patients with 24/7 Emergency Services. The facility features nine exam rooms, five fast track rooms, on-site lab services, diagnostic imaging for X-ray, CT and ultrasound, and a helipad. The Trussville Freestanding Emergency Department currently sees over 18,000 emergency visits annually.
Grandview Endoscopy Center expands
Three years after opening the single-specialty Ambulatory Surgery Center with four procedure rooms, Grandview Endoscopy Center expanded to eight procedure rooms. Grandview Endoscopy Center currently performs over 18,000 procedures annually.
2024
Grandview emergency department expands
Utilizing 3,600 square feet of shell space within the emergency department, Grandview Medical Center opened 10 additional treatment rooms in 2024. The Grandview emergency department now sees approximately 50,000 visits annually.
Advanced Endoscopy Suite opens
The first of its kind in Alabama, the suite uses a fluoroscopy unit to provide superior imaging while dramatically reducing radiation exposure for patients and staff.
2025
Women's services expands (again)
This expansion was necessary to accommodate the more than 4,000 babies anticipated to be delivered at Grandview annually. The $10M project included 10 post-partum rooms, a new nurses station and eight labor and delivery suites. This project was part of an overall 35-bed expansion that when all phases are completed will increase the hospital's licensed bed count to 469.
Grandview Urology Surgery Center opens
The urology surgery center opened as a partnership with 14 local Urologists to provide quality, convenient urological services on the Grandview Medical Center campus. Located in Grandview Physicians Plaza II, the center includes six surgery suites and 16 pre-op and post recovery beds. It is the first urology ambulatory surgery center in Alabama to have a robotic surgical system.
