"People from all over the world come to UAB because they trust us and because we deliver on that trust. They understand the high level of care only a great academic institution can provide from the synergy of great biomedical research, comprehensive clinical care and education of the nation's brightest medical students. Our new buildings, unique services and cutting edge equipment are second to none, but the medical staff and employees are what separate UAB from the rest. Our medical staff is ranked by colleagues to be among the best, our nursing staff is recognized with Magnet distinction and all our employees strive to deliver care with attention to one patient at a time. To me and our patients, the UAB physicians and staff perform miracles every day."
