Children's of Alabama Directory of Pediatric Services Children’s of Alabama Directory of Pediatric Services 2014 Dear Colleague, We are pleased to provide you with the 2014 Directory of Pediatric Services. Within its pages are the names and contact information for some of the brightest minds and most compassionate hearts in pediatric medicine. Please replace any older versions of the Directory with this one. You can also find the most up-to-date directory and other resources for referring physicians on the Healthcare Professional section of www.ChildrensAL.org. Last year was certainly one of change and accomplishment for Children’s of Alabama. We spent our first full year in the new the Benjamin Russell Hospital for Children and as we moved in, we immediately turned our attention to operations inside this amazing facility and to improving the medical care and processes to benefit our young patients. Of particular note were the move from UAB of the Pediatric Transplant Program, which is now certified as a stand-alone center at Children’s, and the achievement of Gold Status for LEED Certification by the Russell building. Renovations continued on the 7th floor of the Dearth Tower. There was substantial work on new clinic space in the “old” Emergency Department area and the readying of new inpatient and outpatient space on the fourth floor of the Dearth Tower for Psychiatric Services. A number of our services were recognized again in 2013 by US News & World Report as being among the top pediatric programs in the nation. Importantly, Children’s successfully completed a Joint Commission survey for reaccreditation for another three years. I mention these accomplishments here to point out that while our new building is exciting, it is what goes on inside that building and all of our facilities that is most important. Thank you for all you do to help prevent, treat and put an end to pediatric injury and disease. Very truly yours, Wm. Michael Warren, Jr. President and CEO About This publication is intended to the be a quick reference for referring Directory physicians and their staffs, providing a general overview of Children's of Alabama and its specialty care and support services on campus. This directory is not a comprehensive medical staff directory. This information and more is also available on our website, www.ChildrensAL.org. Many physicians in private practice have privileges at Children's of Alabama and may be included on the website upon request. The Directory of Pediatric Services is printed annually by the Children's of Alabama Corporate Communications Department. All information has been verified and was accurate at time of printing. Any edits or additions for future editions are welcome and can be directed to Tiffany Kaczorowski in Corporate Communications at 205.638.6916 or 205.638.6660 (main number) or via email to [email protected]. 2014 Directory of Pediatric Services Table of Contents Patient Referral 5 Imaging 57 Information Infectious Diseases 58 Specialty Care and 7 Interventional Radiology 60 Support Services Neonatology 63 Children's of Alabama 9 Birmingham Locations Nephrology 65 Regional Locations 21 Neurology 67 Adolescent Medicine 23 Neurosurgery 69 Weight Management 25 Ophthalmology 71 Allergy/Asthma/ 26 Orthopedic Surgery 72 Immunology Otolaryngology 73 Anesthesia 27 Palliative Care 75 Cardiovascular Services 29 Pathology 77 Critical Care 33 Plastic Surgery 78 Dentistry 35 Psychiatry 79 Dermatology 37 Pulmonary and 81 Emergency Medicine 38 Sleep Medicine Endocrinology 41 Rehabilitation Medicine 83 Gastroenterology 43 Rheumatology 85 and Nutrition Sports Medicine 87 General Pediatrics 45 Urology 89 and Primary Care Physician and Medical 91 General Surgery 47 Professionals Index Genetics 49 Gynecology 50 Hematology 51 and Oncology Hospital Medicine 54 Patient Referral One Stop Calling/ Information Patient Placement (205) 638-7200 or (205) 212-7200 One Stop Calling/Patient Placement assists referring physicians in admitting patients to Children's of Alabama in an emergency situation. If a child is seen by his primary care doctor and is deemed ill enough to need a bed right away, referring pediatricians should call this number to make immediate placement arrangements. How does it work? 1. Receive call from referring physician 2. Obtain information about patient and a direct call-back number 3. Contact appropriate Children's of Alabama physician and initiate conference call 4. If decision is made to transfer, the Patient Placement Coordinator will call referring facility with room and phone number for the nurse to call report Physician Link (205) 638-7479 Physician Link is a telephone resource for referring physicians to use for any non-emergency issues or concerns. This is also the best way for primary care physicians and office staff to receive guidance throughout the referral process and obtain general Children's information. Referring physicians can: • Call Monday-Friday, 8 am-4:30 pm • Provide general information • Assist in patient follow-up • Assist in physician concerns • Resolve issues/concerns • Help facilitate the patient referral process Please refer to individual divisions for direct referral phone numbers. 5 Patient Referral Healthcare Information Professionals Website www.ChildrensAL.org The Healthcare Professionals Website provides forms, directions and contact information to help facilitate the referral process.

  • Benefits Summary for UAB Hospital Management LLC Employees Healthcare Plans
    Benefits Summary for UAB Hospital HUMAN RESOURCES Management LLC Employees The University of Alabama at Birmingham uab.edu/benefits Healthcare Plans For new employees, coverage under UAB’s healthcare plans will begin on the date of employment. Employees who wish to enroll in one of UAB’s healthcare plans may do so within 31 days of their hire date or a separate qualifying event. If for some reason you do not enroll during the times stated above, the next opportunity to do so will be during the annual open enrollment period (usually during October with a January 1 effective date). UAB’s medical, dental, and vision plans are stand-alone programs. Premiums for medical, dental and vision insurance are pre-tax deductions from your paycheck. Traditional Medical Plans UAB offers eligible employees a choice of three stand-alone traditional medical plans: Viva UAB, Viva Access and Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Traditional plans are characterized by lower out-of-pocket costs (copays and deductibles) for covered services when compared to the consumer-driven health plan (see below), and do not include a high annual deductible that must be met before insurance begins paying. Consumer Driven Health Plan with HSA UAB offers eligible employees a consumer-driven health plan, Viva Choice. The difference between a traditional health plan and the Viva Choice CDHP is that in exchange for meeting a higher combined medical and Rx deductible, you will have lower monthly premiums. Viva Choice is paired with a Health Savings Account (HSA) that enables you to set aside pre-tax via payroll or after tax dollars to pay for qualified, out-of-pocket expenses.

  • Regional Transit System Proposal
    What is the In-Town Transit Partnership Project (ITP)? The ITP is a public transportation study initiated by the Regional Planning Commission of Greater Birmingham (RPCGB), with a grant managed by the Birmingham Jefferson County Transit Authority (BJCTA), to identify and evaluate transit service improvement options around Downtown Birmingham and the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), as well as adjacent neighborhoods. The RPCGB has worked with government agencies, area stakeholders, and the general public to determine the preferred transit service option and to assess the environmental benefits and impacts of the recommended improvements. Why Does the City Center Need Transit Improvements? •The Downtown Financial District and UAB serve as economic engines for the Birmingham metropolitan area. • Increasing traffic congestion and few transportation choices for trips to and within the City Center hinder the ability of these activity centers to reach their full economic potential. • Transit services provided in the region are extremely limited, with 30 to 60 minute service on almost all existing local bus routes. • There is a need for transit services that have the potential to attract a greater share of the trips to and within the study area. • Transit improvements will support the city’s vision of a transit- friendly and pedestrian-oriented City Center. Planning for a Regional Transit System The long-range vision for regional transit services includes expanded local bus service, express buses, bus rapid transit, a downtown transit system, transit- supportive infrastructure, High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, park-and-ride lots, and other transportation improvements for six major corridors in the Birmingham region.

UAB is sometimes confused with the University of Alabama (Crimson Tide), which is located in Tuscaloosa; while this is inevitable, it is important to note that the two are indeed separate institutions. In addition, the UAB name is often altered by various media, opponents, merchandise, etc. Please note that there are only two correct versions of our name, the acronym “UAB,” or the full “University of Alabama at Birmingham.” In addition, the Associated Press sports stylebook now uses UAB on first reference, not Alabama-Birmingham
