USA Health expands women’s services in Baldwin County with Allison Casey Calhoun, M.D.
SPANISH FORT, Alabama (October 24, 2024) -- With a passion for helping women and new mothers, Allison Casey Calhoun, M.D., FACOG, recently joined USA Health Eastern Shore OB-GYN & Pediatrics.
A board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist, Calhoun grew up watching her father, whom she described as a small-town community pharmacist, advocating on behalf of his patients. “He always wanted what was best for them,” Calhoun recalled. “I always admired that and knew I wanted to pursue a career in healthcare to be like him and help people.”
Calhoun said she loves her chosen career: “I get to help women every day with their health and be an advocate for them in every stage of life. I may see them as teenagers, through their first pregnancy, and then help them navigate the world of menopause.”
Certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, she was inducted into the Golden Humanism Honor Society in 2015. Calhoun earned a degree in medicine from the Frederick P. Whiddon College of Medicine at the University of South Alabama and served as an OB-GYN resident at USA Health Children’s & Women’s Hospital.
Calhoun is also an assistant professor in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology at the Whiddon College of Medicine, where she is helping to educate the next generation of healthcare providers.
“The advice I would give to anyone wanting to pursue a career in healthcare is to go into it for the right reasons,” she said. “Make sure you love it. It isn’t always easy, but it can be so rewarding knowing you are making a difference in someone’s life.”
Calhoun is accepting new patients at USA Health Eastern Shore OB-GYN & Pediatrics and at the Strada Patient Care Center in Mobile. To make an appointment, call 251-415-1496.
