History:
The 1940s marked a period of growth and change for Sylacauga and its surrounding communities. More people were moving to the area, due in part to the construction nearby of a munitions plant that coincided with America’s involvement in the second World War. For years, the absence of a regional medical center meant long trips to distant facilities for surgery and other healthcare needs. The time had come to bring those services closer to home: the collective efforts of community leaders and concerned citizens made it happen. On April 1, 1945, Sylacauga Hospital opened its doors with the distinction of being the only non-military hospital built in the U.S. during World War II.

History:
Coosa Valley Medical Center is dedicated to providing our community with comprehensive health services that enhance the health and wholeness of each individual we serve through medical and spiritual support while affirming their personal value and dignity.
