With the help of some long-time friends and influential community leaders, Dr. Swaid N. Swaid broke ground this week on a new state-of-the-art medical center in Vestavia Hills.
Congressman Gary Palmer (AL-6), State Sen. Jabo Waggoner (R-Vestavia), Vestavia Hills Mayor Ashley Curry and Dr. Bret Walters, minister at Homewood Church of Christ were all in attendance with shovels in hand to help Dr. Swaid break ground on the Vestavia Medical Plaza.
“We are excited and happy to bring a state-of-the-art medical facility to Vestavia Hills which will provide quality and cost-effective healthcare to the residents of this area, the state of Alabama and beyond,” said Dr. Swaid in a press release from construction firm Brasfield & Gorrie.
Dr. Swaid, a world-renowned brain and spine surgeon, leads the Swaid Clinic currently located in Vestavia Hills, Alabama. He was also the recipient of the 2018 Yellowhammer News Power of Service Award in recognition of his lifetime of service to the people of Alabama and his contributions to the betterment of our state.
Vestavia Medical Plaza will be a 40,000 square foot multi-specialty medical plaza with an ambulatory surgery center, diagnostic center and clinical space. Construction is scheduled to begin in late January. The center’s completion is set for fall 2019.
