Dauphin Island, Alabama

Hi

I am a nursing student living in Southern Oregon and will graduate next June. My husband and I are planning on moving to Dauphin Island or in the general area. I have looked on mapquest at different hospitals and it says they are only 25 miles away but drive time is 1 hour. Anyone know of any hospitals closer to Dauphin Island? My specialty will be the operating room so maybe if there is a surgery center in the area. We are hoping for Dauphin Island but will be happy anywhere along the gulf. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there! I live in Mobile, which is about a 45 minute drive from Dauphin Island...all the hospitals around here are basically in Mobile, and they're all at least a 45-minute drive. Dauphin Island is beautiful though, and if my husband wasn't military we'd buy a house there! LOL

Some hospitals in Mobile:

USA Children's and Women's Hospital

USA Medical Center

USA Knollwood

Mobile Infirmary

Springhill Memorial

Providence

I think the closest one to Dauphin Island is Providence, but that's not saying much since the hospitals are all within 10 miles of each other! LOL

Good luck!

Hi...have you heard anthing about Thomas Hospital in Fairhope? or South Baldwin in Foley?
