The Birmingham Heart & Vascular Center, a new outpatient Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC), is scheduled to open in early 2026 at 46 Medical Park Drive, Suite 310B, just inside the ground level entrance of St. Vincent’s East.

The state-of-the-art facility is jointly owned by UAB, Birmingham Heart Clinic, PLLC (BHC), and U.S. Heart & Vascular. The surgical care facility’s clinical leadership includes ASC board members Drs. Joshua Cockrell, Jacob Townsend, and Robert Yoe, IV. Project partners include GE HealthCare, Birchfield Penuel Architects, and Robins & Morton.

The ASC will provide a range of cardiology and vascular procedures, including right and left heart catheterizations, loop implants and explants, pacemakers, defibrillators, and stent placements.
