Birmingham-based Brookwood Medical Center cuts back women's center project

Birmingham, AL-based Brookwood Medical Center has significantly scaled back its plans for a new women's center because of changes in the city's healthcare market and the downturn in the economy, hospital officials have announced. Brookwood will build a new women's center that's about half the size of the project announced a year ago, create parking for 150 cars instead of 750 and scrap plans to build an adjoining structure for doctors' offices.
