CON approved for Pelham project

St. Vincent’s is moving forward to build a Freestanding Emergency Department in Pelham after receiving approval in June 2023 from a state regulatory board. In addition to emergency services, the new facility will also offer diagnostics, primary, and specialty care services.

The Certificate of Need Review Board, which regulates new healthcare facilities in Alabama, voted in April to approve the Pelham project. It issued the certificate of need (CON) to St. Vincent’s on Wednesday, June 7, clearing the way for work at the site to begin.

“This facility will meet a significant need for people who live in and around Pelham,” said Jason Alexander, CEO at St. Vincent’s. “Our goal is to make sure residents have access to emergency medical care when they need it.”

Design and engineering work will begin soon on the site at the “tank farm” exit 242 on Interstate 65, and the facility is tentatively set to open by the summer of 2025.
