In the first quarter of 2026, UAB Medicine opened several new specialty clinic locations in the Birmingham area.

Starting in January, UAB Medicine added gastroenterology and urology clinics at UAB St. Vincent’s East. The urology services include care for prostate and bladder disorders, urinary tract infections, kidney stones, and urologic cancer. It’s equipped to perform cystoscopies and prostate biopsies, as well as non-surgical robotic treatment for prostate cancer.

That same month, building on the success of its flagship location at The Kirklin Clinic, UAB Medicine opened a second Men’s Health Clinic at UAB Hospital-Highlands. The Men’s Health Clinic brings together multiple services, including urology, primary care, endocrinology and preventive health, designed for men at all life stages.

In February, UAB Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation opened its fourth clinical location in Inverness, expanding access to spine care, musculoskeletal medicine and non-operative pain management. The new clinic is being established in partnership with UAB Neurosurgery, offering patients streamlined access to interdisciplinary spine and nerve care.

The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism have partnered to launch a new Fracture and Fragility Clinic aimed at improving access to specialized bone‑health care for patients at risk of osteoporosis‑related injuries, addressing a long-standing gap in care by ensuring patients who experience a fracture are promptly evaluated for underlying conditions such as osteoporosis or osteopenia.
