Coosa Valley Medical Center Emergency Department
Sylacauga, Alabama
The Emergency Department at Coosa Valley Medical Center is located in Sylacauga, AL in Talladega County, 40 miles southeast of Birmingham. CVMC is especially proud of its recently opened Ambulatory Care Center. This $11 million expansion tripled the size of the emergency room, enlarged and improved admitting facilities, and enhanced the outpatient pre-admission testing areas and operating areas.
The leadership at CVMC has put the necessary resources into turning the Emergency Department into state-of-the-art facility. Now they have demonstrated their commitment to great patient care and customer service by bringing Pegasus Emergency Group on board. Starting November 2009 Pegasus Emergency Group began providing physician coverage 24-hours a day.
