At the end of December, 2012, the inpatient services at Cooper Green Mercy Hospital were closed. Many of the outpatient services were preserved, and the patients have been able to obtain inpatient care at other local hospitals including UAB.
Providing excellent training for our residents remains the highest priority to our program leadership, and we have maintained rigorous standards despite this major change. In addition, we have been able to expand the diversity of opportunities for our residents, and overall we have become even stronger as a Program.
Many of those who experienced Cooper Green as part of their residency training have fond memories of the patients, the staff, and undoubtedly the cheese toast. Through those memories, the best of Cooper Green will live on.
