Throughout its rich history, Northwest Medical Center has remained intertwined with the growing community it serves. The Winfield Hospital had its official opening in 1949 and since that time has been serving the primary health care needs of Marion, Fayette, Lamar, Walker and Winston counties. In this modern era, Northwest Medical Center has added many specialized services reaching beyond our primary service area into a regional service facility.
The hospital is a 71-bed facility serving approximately 2,500 inpatients and 60,000 outpatients annually. More than 60 privately-practicing physicians treat and refer patients to Northwest Medical Center. Northwest is accredited by the Joint Commission and is licensed by the Alabama State Department of Health.
At Northwest Medical Center, the capable hands of our surgeons offer a superior level of treatment in our new operating rooms designed with the latest technology. Why travel elsewhere when NMC offers a comprehensive Surgery Department providing numerous procedures? These are the trusted hands of our physicians. Right here at home.
General Surgery
Northwest Medical Center's Operating Rooms are staffed by well-trained physicians, includ-ing Dr. William S. Konetzki and Dr. Jeffrey Manord. Today, more than ever, physicians are performing a wide variety of minimally invasive surgeries: operations that are less traumatic than traditional surgery. By using special instruments, the approach allows for smaller incisions, quicker recovery, and fewer side effects.
GYN Surgery
Dr. Ted R. Cox and Dr. William Lenahan, both board certified gynecologists, perform a wide array of gynecological procedures at NMC. These experienced physicians provide gynecologic exams and pap smear, breast exam, treatment for abnormal uterine bleeding, uterine fibroids, pelvic prolapse, pelvic pain, urinary incontinence, hysterectomy and menopause. Both physician offices are conveniently located on the hospital campus.
