UAB Medicine Expands Birmingham Footprint With Complex Care Rollout
UAB Medicine is expanding its clinical footprint in the Birmingham area throughout 2026, launching new specialty programs designed to consolidate complex care. The initiatives include a multidisciplinary Peripheral Nerve Clinic and a dedicated vascular surgery practice at UAB St. Vincent’s Birmingham, according to an official announcement from UAB Medicine.
Multidisciplinary Approach to Brachial Plexus Injuries
The UAB Department of Orthopaedic Surgery has established a new Peripheral Nerve Clinic to treat patients with complex nerve conditions, including brachial plexus injuries. These injuries, which often stem from high-energy trauma such as motor vehicle accidents, involve the network of nerves extending from the spinal cord to the arm.
Streamlining Consultations Across Four Departments
The clinic operates through a collaboration between the departments of Orthopaedic Surgery, Neurosurgery, Neurology, and Surgery. By integrating these specialties, the program allows patients to be evaluated by multiple physicians during a single visit, replacing the previous requirement for separate appointments with individual specialists.
Vascular Surgery Launch at UAB St. Vincent’s Birmingham
In October 2026, UAB St. Vincent’s Birmingham opened a new vascular surgery clinic to address conditions affecting arteries, veins, and lymph vessels. The practice is led by vascular surgeon Logan Bond, M.D.
Clinic Provides Vascular Care via Provider Referrals
The clinic provides a spectrum of vascular care, ranging from medical therapy and minimally invasive endovascular procedures to open surgical reconstruction. Patients seeking treatment at this location are required to obtain a referral from their provider.
What Types of Conditions Are Treated at the Peripheral Nerve Clinic?
What types of conditions are treated at the Peripheral Nerve Clinic?
The clinic focuses on complex nerve injuries, specifically those involving the brachial plexus. This network of nerves is responsible for movement and sensation in the arm and is frequently damaged during high-energy trauma.
Access to this practice requires a referral from a provider.
The clinic streamlines the diagnostic and treatment process by coordinating multiple specialties—including orthopaedics, neurosurgery, and neurology—into a single visit. This approach is intended to reduce the administrative burden on patients who previously had to schedule separate appointments for each specialty.
