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 frst 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 beneft our young patients. Of particular note were the move from UAB of the Pediatric Transplant Program, which is now certifed as a stand-alone center at Children’s, and the achievement of Gold Status for LEED Certifcation 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 verifed and was accurate at time of printing.

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

The Benjamin Russell Hospital for Children is located on the block directly north of the McWane Building (formerly the main hospital) and is bridged to the existing Children’s facilities (McWane, Children’s Harbor and Children’s Park Place) and to the UAB Women and Infants Center.
Square footage of the 12-story building exceeds 760,000 square feet, making it the largest medical facility expansion in the history of Alabama. With the addition, bed licensing for Children's has increased from 275 to 332, plus 48 NICU bassinets.
The Russell Building features larger patient rooms, a much larger emergency department and two additional general operating rooms. Two cardiac ORs dedicated to pediatric cardiovascular surgery have been relocated from UAB to the new Children's facility.
The new facility, which opened on August 4, 2012, enabled consolidation of pediatric services with a family-centered design to enhance patient and family comfort. The building will accommodate projected growth in patient volume, as well as anticipated medical technology needs.
The building, along with the entire downtown campus, is named in honor of legendary Alabama entrepreneur Benjamin Russell (1876- 1941) and to recognize the $25 million gift from his grandson, Ben Russell and Ben’s wife Luanne, both longtime hospital supporters.
