Brookwood Baptist Medical Center, founded in 1973 as Brookwood Hospital, is a 595-bed full-service acute care hospital located at 2010 Brookwood Medical Center Drive, off of U.S. Highway 31 (Independence Drive) on the north slope of Shades Mountain above the Brookwood Village shopping center in Homewood.

In 2022 Brookwood Baptist sold four professional office buildings on its campus to Welltower Inc. of Toledo, Ohio for a combined $148 million. The hospital broke ground on an expansion containing 10 new operating rooms in 2021.
