New UAB Women & Infants Center Opens to Patients

BlazerCast for February 23, 2010: Nearly a decade of planning and construction culminate Sunday, Feb. 21, when patients move into the new University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Women & Infants Center. Construction began on the 430,000-square-foot facility in February 2007.

The $164 million Women & Infants Center represents UAB's commitment to improving the health and lives of the women and infants of this state and region. It also increases UAB's capacity to care for Alabama's women and babies, offering Alabama's only supratertiary NICU, the most modern C-section and post-anesthesia recovery suites, state-of-the-art patient-care rooms and technologically advanced communication and security systems.
