What is the relationship between Baptist Health and UAB Health System?
Baptist Health has been an affiliate of the UAB Health System since 2005 and has partnered with UAB throughout the past four decades to support the UAB Internal Medicine Residency Program and, most recently, the addition of the UAB School of Medicine annex at Baptist South.
Who owns the UAB Medicine Multispecialty Clinic?
The clinic is owned and operated by Baptist Health. UAB Health Services Foundation will employee UAB faculty physicians.
Are physician referrals required?
Effective immediately, a physician referral will be required.
Why did we create the UAB Medicine Multispecialty Clinic?
There are simply not enough physician specialists in the Montgomery area to meet the growing demand of the communities we serve. The clinic offers much-needed specialties, including Urology, Gastroenterology, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Breast Surgery, Endocrinology and Rheumatology. It is our intent to continue to grow these practices and add additional specialties in the months and years to come.
How does the UAB Medicine Multispecialty Clinic benefit the community?
The UAB Medicine Multispecialty Clinic generates a great amount of excitement among the residents of Central Alabama as many are forced to travel outside of our area for medical services due to the overwhelming need, limited access and few similar specialists in our area. These new specialists increase access to specialty care in a convenient, centralized location close to home that leads to earlier diagnosis and treatment of disease. In addition, patients have access to clinical trials and research activities being performed at UAB that they otherwise may not have access to.
