Since opening in 2016, 30-bed Ascension St. Vincent’s Chilton has offered general acute care and outpatient services to its community. It has earned a reputation for its specialty care services, including heart care, stroke care, orthopedics and more. Each year, 20,000 patients visit the emergency room while 1,000 patients receive outpatient surgical care. The hospital has earned an “A” safety grade from The Leapfrog Group and a five-star CMS patient survey rating. Recently, Ascension St. Vincent’s Chilton became one of 10 hospitals to join UAB Medicine’s tele-critical care program and one of 20 to join their tele-stroke program, a partnership that will bring quality care to rural areas and ultimately save lives.
