DCH Regional Medical Center, originally known as Druid City Hospital and generally referred to as DCH, is a public, not-for-profit hospital and medical complex located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama that serves the West Alabama region.

With land donated by the University of Alabama, a bond issue and public subscriptions were used to fund a new hospital on a nearby site.
At the end of World War II, in 1946, it leased a portion of Northington General Hospital to serve its burgeoning patient population.
