Partners in Healing to Support Renovations at USA Health University Hospital’s Arnold Luterman Regional Burn Center

Last Updated: August 27, 2026By Tags:

MOBILE, Ala. — USA Health has announced Partners in Healing, a fundraising event bringing together first responders, healthcare professionals, community leaders and philanthropic supporters on Nov. 12, 2026, at Crown Hall in Mobile. All proceeds will support renovations to the Arnold Luterman Regional Burn Center at USA Health University Hospital.

The celebration will honor the partnerships that make lifesaving trauma care possible while raising philanthropic support for a critical burn facility at the region’s only Level I Trauma Center.

Partners in Healing builds on the legacy of A Night Honoring Healers by spotlighting the collaborative network that connects patients to lifesaving care at University Hospital. Healthcare professionals and partners across the community and industry work together to help ensure patients receive the right care, at the right time.

“When someone experiences a life-threatening injury, no one person saves a life,” said Dr. Natalie Fox, CEO of USA Health. “It takes an entire team working seamlessly — from first responders in the field to the trauma and burn specialists at University Hospital. Partners in Healing recognizes those extraordinary partnerships while investing in the future of trauma and burn care for our region.”

Located at University Hospital, the Arnold Luterman Regional Burn Center has a longstanding history of caring for patients with severe burns and complex traumatic injuries from across the Gulf Coast. Named in 2013 in honor of Dr. Arnold Luterman, a nationally recognized burn-care expert who dedicated more than 30 years to USA Health, the center has become an essential regional resource for patients requiring highly specialized burn and trauma care.

That role is particularly important in a region whose economy is anchored by industries including manufacturing, maritime commerce, aviation and energy. As Mobile and the Gulf Coast continue to grow, access to advanced trauma and burn services is an important part of the infrastructure that supports the workforce, businesses and communities that call the region home.

University Hospital’s role as the area’s only Level I Trauma Center means patients with the most serious injuries can receive advanced, specialized care close to home.

USA Health is planning renovations to modernize the Arnold Luterman Regional Burn Center, creating a more healing environment for patients and families while improving clinical efficiency and safety, expanding capacity and supporting the long-term sustainability of advanced burn services. The investment will help ensure the region has the specialized resources needed to care for critically injured patients for generations to come.

Throughout the evening, guests will hear stories of survival, resilience and recovery that illustrate the impact of coordinated care. The event also will recognize the individuals and organizations whose dedication helps patients navigate the trauma system from emergency response through treatment and recovery.

The USA Foundation has announced support as the event’s Presenting Partner. Other corporate and community sponsorship opportunities are available for organizations seeking to support regional healthcare, invest in lifesaving infrastructure and strengthen emergency and trauma services across the Gulf Coast. Multiple sponsorship levels offer recognition before and during the event. For more information about Partners in Healing, visit usahealthsystem.com/partners.
