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.

Schedule a mammogram today

Northwest Medical Center wants you know how important it is to have regular mammo-grams or x-rays of the breasts. If you're a woman 40 years of age or older, you should have a mammogram every year. Doctors know that screenings for breast cancer save thousands of lives each year, and that many more lives could be saved if even more women took advantage of these tests. Watch a short video about mammograms and determine your risk for breast cancer.
