Urologist

Two premier health systems in the state of Alabama, UAB Medicine and Infirmary Health, have come together to improve patient outcomes for our state by developing a Department of Urology / Urologic Oncology as part of the comprehensive Academic partnership agreement.

Infirmary Health has been delivering high-quality healthcare for over 110 years and is the largest integrated, not-for-profit, non-governmental healthcare system in Alabama and along the Central Gulf Coast. The system sees 1.5 million patient visits each year and has nearly 60 percent of the healthcare market share in the two primary counties it serves. With four hospitals, an employed multi-specialty group that includes 230 physicians and over 30 outpatient facilities, Infirmary Health is a leading healthcare provider in Alabama.

At present, Infirmary Health does not have any Urologists in its multi-specialty physician group. The goal is to recruit 4-6 Urologists under the leadership of a newly recruited Chief of Urology. The complement of recruited Physicians will have General Urologists, Cancer Urologists, and other Urologic subspecialties needed for Infirmary Health. The Physicians will be jointly recruited by UAB Department of Urology in the Heersink School of Medicine and Infirmary Health.
