TRANSFORMING MEDICINE<br />
MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING OPENS AT<br />
Mapp Family Campus<br />
“The Mapp Family Campus<br />
will be another important<br />
location for educating and<br />
training the next generation<br />
of healthcare providers.”<br />
–JOHN V. MARYMONT<br />
ressed in a red cardigan, Louis Mapp laced his<br />
fngers and grinned as he took the podium to a<br />
standing ovation.<br />
“God has richly blessed our family,” he told<br />
those gathered to dedicate a new medical office building<br />
in Baldwin County in November. “It has been an honor to<br />
share His blessings with USA Health and this wonderful<br />
medical campus.”<br />
Mapp, leaders from USA and USA Health, and local<br />
dignitaries then cut a red ribbon to dedicate the three-story,<br />
50,000-square-foot medical office building located on a<br />
medical campus named for the Mapp family.<br />
USA Health’s Owen Bailey recalled conversations<br />
around the Mapps’ kitchen table when the idea for the<br />
new campus was taking shape. “Louis has a vision to bring<br />
academic healthcare to Baldwin County,” said Bailey, chief<br />
executive ofcer and senior associate vice president for<br />
medical afairs. “It was important to him that the campus<br />
be focused on wellness, nutrition and disease prevention –<br />
concepts he has embraced throughout his life.”<br />
