USA Health Executive Receives State And National Awards

Owen Bailey, CEO and senior associate vice president for medical affairs at USA Health, was honored with two prestigious awards during the Alabama Hospital Association’s (AlaHA) annual meeting in June. He was also named to the 101 Academic Medical Center CEOs to Know for 2023 by Becker’s Hospital Review in June. He received the Alabama Hospital Association’s Distinguished Service Award for outstanding achievement in service to Alabama’s hospitals and their patients. He was also the recipient of the AlaHA Grassroots Award for exceptional leadership in generating grassroots and community support of the hospitals’ mission. Since joining USA Health and leading an addition and renovation that doubled the size of the University of South Alabama (USA) Children’s & Women’s Hospital more than a decade ago, Bailey has been a driving force behind the health system’s growth from six facilities in 2016 to nearly 30 today. USA Health and the Frederick P. Whiddon College of Medicine at USA are responsible for a $1-billion-plus annual impact on the Gulf Coast economy.
