The Birmingham healthcare landscape
- Birmingham is home to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Health System, one of the largest academic medical centers in the southeastern United States, which operates UAB Hospital — a 1,207-licensed-bed facility and Level I trauma center — along with Children's of Alabama, a major pediatric quaternary care hospital on the same Southside campus.
- The UAB Health System expanded significantly in 2024 when the University of Alabama Board of Trustees approved the acquisition of the Ascension St. Vincent's Health System, integrating UAB St. Vincent's Birmingham and multiple affiliated facilities into UAB Medicine.
- Baptist Health, a not-for-profit faith-based system headquartered in Birmingham, operates five hospitals across Central Alabama totaling approximately 1,700 authorized beds, including Princeton Hospital and Brookwood Hospital, providing significant community hospital capacity alongside the UAB academic enterprise.
- Alabama has not expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, which creates persistent uncompensated care pressures for Birmingham hospitals and independent practices, as a substantial portion of working-age adults in Jefferson County remain uninsured or underinsured.
