Your care and comfort are our goals at UAB Hospital

You have available a powerful Wi-Fi, meals and snacks that patients may order from a room-service menu at any time of the day, a full-service food court, and other snacking, coffee, pastry, and sandwich shop options. Dialing *55 from any hospital telephone reaches someone who can help with any issue a patient or family member may have.

UAB physicians are acknowledged leaders in their specialty fields

They collaborate across disciplines to reach and complete the best personalized treatment plan for each patient, drawing on the vast academic and research resources of UAB to treat even the most difficult cases. Among them is the UAB O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center, the only one in a five-state region. The hospital also participates in the UAB Comprehensive Diabetes Research Center, and all inpatients are checked for glucose abnormalities through the hospital’s innovative Glycemic Control Program. Our highly recognized Neurosciences, Heart/Vascular, Critical Care, and other services also offer the benefit of evidence-based medicine.

Backed by the resources of a “Most Wired” hospital as designated by Wired magazine
