Adamsville Birmingham Ridge Medical Supply Hub – I‑22, US‑78 & Jefferson County Corridor
Western Jefferson County ties together UAB Hospital’s Level I trauma teams, Children’s of Alabama transport crews, Brookwood Baptist and Ascension St. Vincent’s surgical centers, Amazon BHM1, United States Steel Fairfield Works, Alabama Power’s Miller Steam Plant, and Jefferson County EMA. Our LAC Health counter inside Walmart #1158 at 2473 Hackworth Road keeps UAB trauma, Children’s transport, Ascension cardiology, Jefferson County Sheriff/EMA, Miller Steam Plant medics, and Hueytown/Forestdale fire units stocked without waiting on distant depots.
Within 15 miles are UAB Hospital, Children’s of Alabama, Ascension St. Vincent’s downtown, Brookwood Baptist, UAB Gardendale, Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport, Norfolk Southern’s Norris Yard, CSX Boyles Yard, Port Birmingham barge docks, and the I‑22/I‑65/I‑20/59 interchange. Tornado outbreaks, pipeline work, hazmat rail moves, Amazon surges, SEC football weekends, and Jefferson County ICS activations demand a “medical suppliers near me” counter tuned to Birmingham’s western ridge—this Hackworth Road hub delivers.
Adamsville blends industrial plants, distribution centers, regional rail, and fast-growing neighborhoods. LAC Health supports that mix with generator-backed cold rooms, bilingual (English/Spanish) manifests, and MOUs with Jefferson County EMA, UAB AirCare, and Alabama Power corporate emergency services.
