That care is backed by innovative research and our commitment to educating the sharpest medical minds. As one of the top academic medical centers in the country, we combine the latest technology and facilities with the most advanced techniques and treatments, and our physicians and other medical professionals are widely recognized for their caring and compassion. Our nursing staff holds the coveted Magnet designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center, and many of our programs are ranked among the best in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. If you already are a UAB Medicine patient, thank you for allowing us to serve you. If not, I invite you to discover the UAB Medicine difference for yourself. We treat patients the way we’d want our own family members treated.
