Mobile healthcare
Mobile has named hospital routes and broad directories, not a personal care guarantee
Mobile’s published healthcare rows show healthcare access, hospital access, and emergency care as Excellent, with primary care and specialist access marked Very Good. The city has 17 HRSA adult primary care sites within 15 miles, the nearest at 1.3 miles, 86 registered pharmacies, 356 selected Medicare specialists, 7 Medicare emergency hospitals within 30 miles, a nearest listed Medicare emergency hospital at 1.8 miles, a nearest CMS rated hospital at 1.8 miles, and 1,942 reported hospital beds within 12 km.
The same rows list 18 certified nursing homes within 15 miles, the nearest at 1.2 miles, 17 federally qualified health centers, 33.1 percent of residents age 65 plus with a disability, and 0.8 percent without health insurance. USA Health University Hospital and the University of South Alabama emergency medicine department provide named local routes to investigate, not a promise that every service fits every person.

Mobile in everyday life
Could Mobile work for you?
What may work well
- Mobile lists 17 HRSA adult primary care sites, 86 pharmacies, 356 selected Medicare specialists, and 7 Medicare emergency hospitals within 30 miles.
- USA Health University Hospital and the University of South Alabama emergency medicine department provide named local care routes to investigate.
- The published rows include nursing homes, federally qualified health centers, disability, and insurance measures for a fuller care conversation.
What to think about
- Directory counts and hospital descriptions do not establish personal access, appointment timing, insurance acceptance, language, capacity, quality, or outcomes.
- The nearest listed emergency and CMS rated hospital distances do not prove travel time or the best route from every Mobile home.
- An age 65 plus disability row of 33.1 percent makes home support and family help worth discussing before a move.
