History:
From 1920 to 1943, the state of Alabama had no four-year medical school. Medical students completed a two-year program in the basic sciences at The University of Alabama, but to complete their medical training, they had to transfer to an out-of-state institution. With the support of Governor Chauncey Sparks, the four-year Medical College of Alabama was established with the enactment of the Jones Bill in 1943. The new program was placed under the jurisdiction of The University of Alabama Board of Trustees, and the bill created a nine-member commission of prominent Alabama residents headed by the governor to select a location for the new program. Mobile, Montgomery, Birmingham, and Tuscaloosa, the site of the two-year program, each vied for the four-year medical school. Birmingham was chosen in 1944 primarily because of the Jefferson and Hillman Hospitals and the large number of indigent patients in the area.
Originally, the Medical College of Alabama had control for teaching purposes of only the Hillman Hospital and Hillman Outpatient Clinic Building. The medical college also had authority over staff appointments and policy matters at these facilities. However, it was soon realized that Jefferson Hospital, located adjacent to the Hillman Hospital, offered more possibilities as a teaching hospital. After negotiations, Jefferson County transferred both hospitals to The University of Alabama along with the outpatient building, a nursing student dormitory, and a tuberculosis clinic. Jefferson and Hillman Hospitals were also merged to form the Jefferson-Hillman Hospital, but chiefly known later as University Hospital.
With many private patients, outpatients, and indigent patients, the hospital provided the new medical school with a sufficient volume of clinical material. Most patients were housed in the Jefferson Hospital, and the Hillman Hospital served mainly as office space for the medical school. Plans were instituted immediately for the construction of a new medical school building, and several floors of Jefferson Hospital were remodeled to house the preclinical divisions upon their removal from Tuscaloosa to Birmingham. In addition to medical school divisions, the Hillman Hospital also housed the Spies Nutrition Clinic and the city, county, and state health departments. The outpatient building contained the offices of the Jefferson County Medical Society. Other Birmingham hospitals, including the Crippled Children's Clinic and the Children's Hospital, also served as teaching sites for the medical college.
In the summer of 1944, Dr. Roy R. Kracke was named dean of the new Medical College of Alabama. The Alabama native, who had received a B.S. from The University of Alabama in 1924, assumed his duties on 1 August 1944. One of Dean Kracke's first actions was to assemble the teaching staff of the new college. He relied heavily on Birmingham's medical community to fill positions on a part-time basis. On the first of December, Dr. Roger Denio Baker became the medical school's first full-time faculty member and first departmental chair (pathology) appointed by Kracke.
The lack of adequate space for programs became one of the new dean's most serious problems. A new building for the medical college was supposed to alleviate this problem and plans for the structure occupied much of Dr. Kracke's time. However, this building was never built. Eventually, funds were pooled with the new dental school and obtained through the Hill-Burton Act, and a Medical and Dental Basic Science Building and Dental Clinic was constructed in the early 1950s.
More problematic than space, however, was the problem of indigent patient care. Dean Kracke was forced to balance the financial and staff needs of growing programs with the increasing demands created by the large number of indigent patients. An ever-increasing portion of the medical college budget had to be diverted to the operation of the Jefferson-Hillman Hospital. In addition, the location of the Spies Nutrition Clinic in the Hillman Hospital was also a source of aggravation for Kracke, but with the support of powerful Birmingham business interests, Dr. Spies remained in the Hillman building although his clinic was officially unaffiliated with the medical college.
With limited resources and constant demands for better facilities and funding, Dean Kracke managed to provide fair and thoughtful administration of the medical college. University of Alabama presidents Raymond Paty and John Gallalee supported Kracke's decisions and deferred to his knowledge concerning medical affairs although they maintained centralized control over Medical Center expenditures.
The financial burdens of caring for indigent patients nearly overwhelmed the new medical college. The University of Alabama was paid for indigent patient care on a per diem basis. The per diem payments, however, did not keep pace with the cost of health care. This remained a severe problem for the medical college until the 1960s. In addition, the medical college functioned with often-severe staff and faculty shortages.
Dr. Kracke and state officials worked from the beginning to create a Medical Center around the medical college. With approval from The University of Alabama, three and one-half blocks of medical college property were resold so that the Veterans Administration Hospital, Crippled Children's Hospital, and Public Health Department could be built adjacent to the medical college. The remainder of the property served as the site for the Medical and Dental Basic Science Building and Dental Clinic.
After Dean Kracke's sudden death in June of 1950, University president John Gallalee persuaded Dr. Tinsley R. Harrison to become acting dean of the Medical College of Alabama. Dr. Harrison, an Alabama native, was the son of a physician and had received his education in the Birmingham, Alabama, public schools, Marion Military Institute, and the University of Michigan. He earned his medical degree from Johns Hopkins. Dr. Harrison had organized two other medical schools before accepting the position in Birmingham. In 1941 he went to North Carolina to help organize the new four-year Bowman Gray School of Medicine. Later, he moved to Dallas, Texas, and helped organize the Southwestern Medical School.
Dr. Harrison assumed the duties of acting dean of the Medical College of Alabama and chair of the Department of Medicine on August 1, 1950, less than two months after the death of Dean Kracke. Harrison had been reluctant to accept the deanship, even in an acting capacity, for he believed his true talents were in teaching and patient care, not in administration. However, he agreed to serve as acting dean upon the request of Dr. John Gallalee until a permanent dean could be found. His first responsibility, in fact, was to find a suitable successor to Dean Kracke. Dr. Harrison also assumed the duties of chairman of the Department of Medicine upon the retirement of Dr. James S. McLester.
Drawing on his wide acquaintance within the medical community across the nation, Dr. Harrison sought throughout the autumn and winter of 1950 and 1951 and into the spring of 1951 to fill the deanship, but he had no success. Harrison's friends and colleagues suggested a number of names, including Dr. Robert C. Berson who would later serve as dean, and many of the nominees were contacted and interviewed either in person, in writing, or by telephone. Dr. Harrison and President Gallalee even offered the position to several qualified individuals. The acting dean and the president, however, were met with refusals from every direction.
In addition to locating a new dean, Dr. Harrison also had to deal with continuing financial problems at the Medical College of Alabama. The college and the Jefferson-Hillman Hospital were short-staffed and under funded. Faculty members, many of whom were also seeing private patients or fulfilling duties at the hospital, had to balance heavy teaching loads with their patient care responsibilities. Dr. Harrison's mother was also ill, and she died in early March 1951. Exhausted by his mother's illness and by the administrative concerns of the medical school, Dr. Harrison resigned the acting deanship on 1 March 1951. In his place, Dr. James O. Foley was named acting associate dean, and he took over the responsibilities of the deanship.
In March, while Dr. Harrison was in Florida for a much-needed vacation, President Gallalee announced that Dr. James J. Durrett of the Federal Trade Commission had accepted the deanship of the Medical College of Alabama. Harrison remained chairman of the Department of Medicine until 1957 and a faculty member until his retirement in 1970. At that time of his retirement, he accepted a position with the Veterans Administration Hospital and remained active until his death in 1978.
Dr. James J. Durrett, selected as the new dean of the Medical College of Alabama in March 1951, was another native of Alabama. Dr. Durrett was born in Tuscaloosa and received his degree from The University of Alabama. He returned to Alabama in 1951 following a lengthy association with the Federal Trade Commission. Durrett's tenure at the Medical College of Alabama, however, was troubled. Although he was an able administrator, Dr. Durrett had difficulty addressing the problems of the under-financed and understaffed medical college. In an attempt to solve the administrative problems at the Medical Center, University President Oliver C. Carmichael organized a study commission headed by Dr. T. Duckett Jones to recommend improvements in the operations of the Medical Center. The Jones Committee occupied much of Dr. Durrett's time in 1954. Shortly after the release of the "Duckett Jones Report" in the summer of 1954, Dr. Durrett announced his resignation as dean of the Medical College. Dr. Robert C. Berson, who also served as the first vice president for Health Affairs, succeeded him in January 1955. Until his retirement, Dr. Durrett served as an assistant to the president of The University of Alabama.
Dr. Robert C. Berson served as dean of the Medical College of Alabama and vice president for Health Affairs of the Medical Center from 1955 to 1962. Born in Tennessee, Dr. Berson was the first dean of the medical college not to have been a native of Alabama. As dean, Berson oversaw a ten and one-half block expansion of the campus through urban renewal. In addition, he contended with the continuing financial problem of caring for indigent patients. During his tenure, Berson witnessed the construction of a psychiatric clinic made possible by funds donated by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph S. Smolian. He also directed intensive planning efforts at the Medical Center. The amount of research monies steadily increased throughout his tenure, and the medical college was reaccredited in 1960-1961 by the American Medical Association and the Association of American Medical Colleges.
Dr. Berson grew increasingly frustrated with the administration at the Medical Center after 1958. In that year, University of Alabama officials appointed Dr. Richard T. Eastwood as executive director of University Affairs for Birmingham. This appointment added an administrative level between Berson and the president of the University. In 1962, Berson resigned as dean and vice president to accept a position with the University of Texas.
Dr. S. Richardson Hill, Jr., became dean of the Medical College of Alabama after Berson's resignation. He was born in North Carolina and received his M.D. degree in December 1946 from the Bowman Gray School of Medicine of Wake Forest University. At Bowman Gray, Hill first met Dr. Tinsley R. Harrison, the distinguished physician and researcher who later served as acting dean of the Medical College and chair of the Department of Medicine.
Dr. Hill came to Birmingham in 1954 to head the endocrinology and metabolism section of the Medical College of Alabama and the Veterans Administration Hospital. Hill established a research laboratory and established fellowship program in endocrinology section. Eventually, Hill created a clinical research center and received training grants from the National Institutes of Health. He served as director of the metabolic and endocrine division until his appointment as dean in 1962.
Dean Hill spent a considerable amount of time recruiting faculty members and department heads. Through Hill's efforts, Dr. John W. Kirklin was recruited to Alabama from the Mayo Clinic to become chair of the Department of Surgery. Hill also witnessed the rapid growth of the Medical Center and other Birmingham programs of The University of Alabama. He oversaw an increase of medical college programs, the addition of new departments, and an increase in the amount of research grants awarded to faculty researchers. He also helped desegregate Medical Center facilities in the 1960s. In November 1968, Dr. Joseph F. Volker named Dean Hill the new vice president for Health Affairs.
Dr. Clifton K. Meador succeeded Dr. Hill as dean of the medical college in 1968. A native of Selma, Alabama, Meador received his medical degree from Vanderbilt University in 1955 and joined the faculty of the Medical College of Alabama in 1962. He served as director of the General Clinical Research Center from 1962 until his appointment as dean of the medical school. Dean Meador presided over many changes at the Medical Center including a plan for the expansion of medical education within the University.
On June 16, 1969 Alabama Governor Albert P. Brewer announced the formation of the independent University of Alabama in Birmingham (UAB), composed of the Medical Center programs and the College of General Studies. UAB became one of three autonomous institutions within the new University of Alabama System. Later, in September 1969 the Medical College of Alabama was officially renamed The University of Alabama School of Medicine.
Dean Meador presided over other changes in the School of Medicine and the system of medical education in the State of Alabama. As a result of the McCall Report, in 1972 The University of Alabama Board of Trustees formalized The University of Alabama System Medical Education Program (UASMEP). UASMEP was comprised of the three medical programs in the System, the programs in Birmingham, Tuscaloosa and Huntsville.
Dr. Meador served until 1973 when Dr. James A. Pittman, Jr., was appointed dean of the medical school. Dr. Pittman, a native of Florida, had graduated cum laude from the Harvard Medical School in 1952. He completed an internship and residency at the Massachusetts General Hospital and spent a brief period of time at the National Cancer Institute before accepting a second residency at the Medical College of Alabama in 1956. Dr. Pittman became the chief resident the following year. He remained in Birmingham and became a professor in the medical school. From 1962 until 1971 Dr. Pittman served as the second director of the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism, succeeding Dr. S. Richardson Hill, Jr., when the later was appointed dean of the medical school.
Dean Pittman oversaw an expansion of medical education in The University of Alabama System. In 1979 he was named executive dean of all medical education programs in the system and the designation UASMEP was eliminated. From 1979, the medical programs in Huntsville and Tuscaloosa were more formally affiliated with the well-established medical school at UAB.
Other changes during Dean Pittman's tenure included a return to a three-year curriculum and an increase in the number of medical departments. Changes also occurred at the Medical Center and in the University itself. In November 1984 The University of Alabama Board of Trustees officially changed the name of the University to the University of Alabama at Birmingham. After serving longer than any preceding medical dean, Dr. Pittman retired in 1992. He was succeeded by Dr. Charlie W. Scott, who served as interim dean through the end of 1992. Dr. Harold J. Fallon of the Medical College of Virginia was named new dean in November of 1992 and assumed the position in January 1993.
Dr. Fallon, a New York native, received his medical degree from Yale University in 1957. During his academic career, he held positions at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, Yale University, Duke University and the Medical College of Virginia. Before accepting the deanship in Birmingham, Fallon had served as the chair of the Department of Internal Medicine at Virginia for over 19 years.
The beginning of Dr. Fallon's tenure as dean coincided with a period of great change in the Academic Health Center and in the University of Alabama at Birmingham. The University's third president, Dr. Charles A. McCallum, Jr., resigned his position and was succeeded in October 1993 by Dr. J. Claude Bennett, then-chair of the Department of Medicine. President Bennett soon began a reorganization plan for the upper level administration of the University, and the Office of Vice President for Health Affairs, to whom the deans of the medical school had reported since 1968, was abolished in the summer of 1995 along with the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs. In their place, President Bennett established the Office of the Provost who was given responsibility for all academic programs campus-wide. Dean Fallon began reporting to the new provost, Dr. Kenneth J. Roozen, along with the 11 other academic schools at UAB.
The School of Medicine and Dean Fallon experienced another major change in 1995. President Bennett established the Office of UAB Health Systems and recruited Dr. Michael A. Geheb as first director. Geheb was given responsibility for UAB's health-care organization, health-care delivery system, and the programs supporting the University's education and research components, the clinical activities of the medical faculty. UAB Health Systems combined the functions of the former vice presidency for Health Affairs with those of University Hospital, the Kirklin Clinic, the Health Services Foundation, and UAB's newly created health-maintenance organization. Later, in October of 1996, the Health System was reorganized when The University of Alabama Board of Trustees and the Health Services Foundation approved a joint operating agreement. The agreement established a new governing structure for a non-profit entity, the UAB Health System Managing Board, comprised of the System chancellor, board of trustee members, president of UAB, dean of the medical school, chairs of the surgery and medical departments, president of the Health Services Foundation, and several community leaders.
On October 1, 1995, Dean Fallon assumed direct responsibility for the School of Primary Medical Care and the University Medical Clinics of the University of Alabama in Huntsville, a 20-year old program which had previously reported directly to the UAH president although it had been affiliated with the School of Medicine in Birmingham. The medical school and dean also assumed direct responsibility for all medical buildings and property in Huntsville.
Dr. Harold J. Fallon served as dean of the School of Medicine until 1997 when he retired and returned to the medical faculty. He was succeeded by Dr. William B. Deal, who became interim dean effective April 8, 1997, and dean in November 1997. Deal, an associate dean and member of the UAB faculty since 1991, received his medical degree from the University of North Carolina. He previously had served at the University of Florida, Maine Medical Center, and Northwestern University. Like Dean Fallon before him, Deal became dean during another year of change for UAB. In 1997 a new UAB president was named, Dr. W. Ann Reynolds, to succeed President J. Claude Bennett, who had resigned at the end of 1996, and a new chancellor was named for The University of Alabama System.
The following year more changes effected the School of Medicine and Dean Deal when Dr. Michael A. Geheb, director of the UAB Health System and CEO of the Health System Managing Board, announced his resignation from his offices. Deal became interim director and CEO effective December 1998 while a national search was held for Geheb's replacement. Deal served in that capacity until September 1999 when David J. Fine became the Health System’s second CEO. By 1998, The University of Alabama School of Medicine ranked 15th in the nation in receipt of National Institute of Health funding, and was ranked among the top 25 research-oriented medical schools in the country by U.S. News & World Report. Dean Deal presided over the largest academic school at UAB and the school with the highest-amount of extramural grants and research funding on the university campus.
In November 2000 the University of Alabama Board of Trustees named Dean Deal to the new position of Vice President for Medicine; the title was later amended to Senior Vice President for Medicine. When the UAB Capital Campaign ended in December 2003, the School of Medicine had raised more than $260 million to fund scholarships, programs, research, professorships, lectureships and the school’s physical plant. In 2004 Dr. Deal announced plans to step down as dean and return to the medical school faculty once a successor was chosen. After a national search, Dr. Robert R. Rich, Executive Associate Dean for Research at Emory University, was selected in September 2004. Rich became Dean of the School of Medicine and Senior Vice President for Medicine on October 1, 2004.
Dr. Ray L. Watts, who previously had served as chair of the UAB Department of Neurology and as president of the University of Alabama Health Services Foundation, was named to succeed Dr. Rich in July 2010 and assumed the position as Senior Vice President for Medicine and Dean of the School of Medicine on October 1, 2010. On February 8, 2013, Dean Watts was selected by the Board of Trustees to be the seventh president of UAB, the first undergraduate alumnus to hold the office of president. At the same time, Dr. Anupam Agarwal, director of the Division of Nephrology, was selected as the interim dean of the School of Medicine. He served until the appointment of Dr. Selwyn M. Vickers, an Alabama native who returned to UAB from the University of Minnesota to become Senior Vice President and Dean of the School of Medicine on October 15, 2013. A former member of the UAB surgery faculty, Dr. Vickers became the first African American named as dean of the medical school.
During the tenure of Dean Vickers, the school underwent dramatic changes, from the creation of additional departments to major increases in extramural grant funding, reaching $270 million in National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding in 2020. Also, in 2020, the school was comprised by a total of 27 departments, with 20 clinical and seven basic science departments, had an enrollment of 799 students and 1,076 residents and fellows, and had a full-time faculty of 1,695. The school's senior leadership was constituted by 29 individuals and three associate deans on the school's regional campuses in Huntsville, Montgomery, and Tuscaloosa. In 2021 the school received a transformative donation, $95 million from Dr. and Mrs. Marnix E. Heersink, the largest single gift in the history of UAB. As a result, on September 28, 2021, the University of Alabama System Board of Trustees renamed the medical school as the UAB Heersink School of Medicine, the second academic school at UAB to be named in honor of major donors. Dr. Vickers stepped down as dean and vice president in the fall of 2022 and Dr. Anupam Agarwal returned to serve a second time as the medical school's interim dean and UAB's vice president for Medicine. On February 3, 2023, Dr. Agarwal was named Senior Vice President for Medicine and dean of the Heersink School of Medicine.

History:
At the end of 1944 Jefferson County deeded the Hillman and Jefferson hospitals to the Board of Trustees of The University of Alabama. The buildings were deeded in order to serve as teaching and patient care facilities for the University’s newly established four-year medical school. The Jones Bill, Alabama Act 89, was passed by the state legislature on June 2, 1943, and authorized the establishment of the four-year medical school under the administration of the University of Alabama. Governor Chauncey Sparks appointed a committee to review the best location for the new school and on February 16, 1944, the Governor’s Building Commission adopted a resolution selecting Birmingham as the future home of the school; the University of Alabama was located just fifty miles away in Tuscaloosa.
The committee selected Birmingham chiefly because of the existence of the Jefferson and Hillman hospitals and of the population living in the state’s largest – and most industrialized – city. The University acquired the land on which the hospitals were built and on December 20, 1944, signed a 99-year lease for the use of the hospital facilities. The University merged the two hospitals effective on January 1, 1945, to form the newly named Jefferson-Hillman Hospital, the heart of the new Medical Center in Birmingham. The hospital provided teaching and clinical facilities for the Medical College of Alabama and operated schools for nurses, nurse anesthetists, medical technologists, and radiological technologists. Jefferson-Hillman Hospital also treated indigent patients for which it received reimbursement from Jefferson County. The reimbursement, however, never covered the cost of indigent patient care and created a major and long-lasting financial burden for the medical school. During this period, the superintendent of the hospital reported to the dean of the Medical College of Alabama; the medical dean in turn reported to the president of the University.
In 1954, the Duckett Jones Committee recommended that the Jefferson-HillmanHospital be made a division within the MedicalCenter on equal standing with the medical and dental schools. The committee also recommended that the hospital administrator report to a vice president for Health Affairs instead of the dean of the medical school. These recommendations were implemented on May 28, 1955. The Jefferson-HillmanHospital was also renamed UniversityHospital and Hillman Clinic and soon became known to many simply as “UniversityHospital.”
In 1961, the hospital underwent a major reorganization in which hospital administration reduced the number of divisions from five to four. Also that year, the hospital discharged over twenty thousand patients, and the Hillman Emergency Clinic and the University Emergency Clinic together treated over one hundred thousand patients. Indigent patient care remained a financial problem for the hospital. The per diem paid by the county to the hospital for patient care had increased since the mid 1940s, but the cost of medical care had risen at a higher rate. In 1962, medical dean S. Richardson Hill, Jr., and hospital administrator Matthew McNulty reorganized medical and surgical operations within the hospital. Two chiefs-of-staff were appointed: one for medicine and one for surgery. They organized hospital clinical services in relation to Medical College of Alabama programs, and as a result, medical department chairpersons served as chiefs-of-service in the various clinical fields in the hospital. The administrative relationship between the hospital and the medical college remained an issue throughout the 1960s.
In 1963, to emphasize the growth of programs within the MedicalCenter, the University administration renamed the UniversityHospital and Hillman Clinic the University of Alabama Hospitals and Clinics. As in the city and the state of Alabama, the early 1960s also brought the issue of Civil Rights and integration into the Medical Center and the hospital. Both white and black patients had always been treated in the two hospitals, but treatment had been provided in wards segregated for the races, even after the University acquired the facilities in 1944. The passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and several rulings by the federal courts eventually led to the elimination of all segregation policies in any healthcare facility receiving federal funding. On April 25, 1965, hospital administrator Matthew McNulty certified to the MedicalCenter administration that the hospital had been completely integrated on that date.
Growth in hospital paramedical programs also highlighted the early to mid 1960s. Hospital administration implemented training programs for cytotechnologists, blood bank technologists, and physical therapists. A program in hospital administration begun by Matthew McNulty became the School of Health Services Administration in 1965 and offered a master's degree program in hospital administration. The School of Health Services Administration and most paramedical education programs were removed from the hospital and became part of UAB’s new School of Community and Allied Health Resources in 1969 and 1970. The hospital-based nursing school was eliminated after the graduation of the class of 1969. Two years earlier, University President Frank Rose had moved the baccalaureateSchool of Nursing from the Tuscaloosa campus to the MedicalCenter in Birmingham.
Throughout the mid to late 1960s, university officials continued to debate the best way in which to organize and administer the hospital in relation to other MedicalCenter programs. In 1966, Dr. John Kirklin, newly appointed chair of the Department of Surgery, was given extensive responsibility for hospital operations, and he began the difficult and complex task of transforming the hospital into a quality patient-care and teaching facility. He also served as chief-of-staff. In 1969, Medical Center administration, upon the recommendation of Dr. Kirklin, named Dr. J. Durwood Bradley as the first full-time chief-of-staff. Bradley had previously served under Kirklin as an assistant chief-of-staff.
During the 1960s and early 1970s, the hospital also underwent a major renovation and expansion project. These projects resulted in the completion of the Spain Rehabilitation Center and a later addition to that center, a new General Services Building, and a renovated and modernized Jefferson Tower. In September 1972, University Hospital closed its outpatient clinic as Mercy Hospital (renamed Cooper Green in 1975) opened and as Jefferson County became the primary provider of medical care for the county’s indigent patients. The new University Ambulatory Center later assumed outpatient responsibilities for Medicaid and Medicare patients and outpatients from the Departments of Medicine, Surgery, and Obstetrics and Gynecology. Therefore, in September 1973, the University of Alabama Board of Trustees approved a change in the name of the hospital from the University of Alabama Hospitals and Clinics to the University of Alabama Hospitals. Dr. Keith Blayney became administrator of the hospital on July 1, 1969, succeeding acting administrator Robert Holters. Blayney served until January 1971 and was succeeded by James Moon.
The hospital added the Diabetes Research and EducationHospital in 1973. Major renovation and construction projects continued to highlight University Hospital's development. Expansion and/or renovation projects resulted in a Radiation Therapy Unit, the Lurleen B. Wallace Tumor Institute, the Quarterback Tower, the East Base with the Spain Heart and Wallace Cancer Towers, the Diabetes Hospital addition, and a Medical Center Parking Garage. The hospital provided a range of opportunities for the training of generalists and specialists in medicine, and through affiliations with the Veterans Administration, Children's Hospital, and Eye Foundation Hospital; University Hospital continued to provide additional opportunities for training and research. In addition to clinical training for medical and nursing students, University Hospital provided opportunities for paramedical students from the School of Community and Allied Health Sciences in a number of fields, including physical therapy, cytotechnology, medical laboratory technology, and dietetics.
In 1985, the University of Alabama Hospitals was (again) renamed to the University of Alabama Hospital in order to reflect a unity among health-care delivery programs at UAB. The hospital continued to grow during the late 1980s and receive recognition for its programs. During this period, one source named University Hospital as the third best hospital in the entire nation. In 1987, UAB began the then-largest single addition in the history of the hospital, the West Pavilion. This facility was planned to provide 160 replacement beds. It also included special care units for neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, heart transplants, and neurology. The kidney transplant program, which had begun in 1968, ranked as one of the best nationally and by 1988 was the largest in the nation. In addition to kidney transplants and heart transplants, which the hospital first offered in 1981, the hospital added heart/lung and pancreas/kidney transplants in 1987-1988.
In 1989, James Moon, who had served as administrator since 1971, resigned. Clark Taylor, Jr., served as the next administrator from July 1, 1989, until January 13, 1992. During the early 1990s, the hospital was chosen as one of 17 hospitals nationwide to assist the Joint Commission of Healthcare Organizations in teaching “other hospitals about the delivery of high-quality patient care” (Medical Center Magazine, Spring 1991). The hospital also added the Center for Psychiatric Medicine in 1992 and additions to the Spain Rehabilitation Center and the Tumor Institute. Frequently during the early 1990s, the University of Alabama Hospital was referred to as the “UAB Hospital” and by the end of the decade was often known as the “UAB University Hospital” although the official name remained the University of Alabama Hospital.
After Taylor’s resignation in 1992, James Lee briefly served as acting hospital administrator. Succeeding him was Kevin Lofton, who assumed a new title of executive director of University Hospital on October 4, 1993. Dr. Durwood Bradley remained as hospital chief-of-staff until November 6, 1995, when Dr. Scott Buchalter succeeded him. Buchalter’s appointment was made effective October 1, 1995. Lofton served until his resignation in 1998 and was succeeded by Martin Nowak. Nowak, who first served in an interim capacity, was appointed the hospital’s second executive director in 1999.
As a new century dawned, ground was broken in July 2000 for a massive nine-story, 850,000 square foot addition to the hospital, the largest construction project in the hospital’s history. When it is completed in 2004, the North Pavilion will occupy 3/4 of a city block and will house a new emergency room, operating suites, and patient beds. In 2002 the annual “America’s Best Hospitals” issue of U.S. News and World Reports ranked nine programs at UniversityHospital as among the best in the country; UAB was the only hospital in Alabama to be included in the rankings.
After Martin Nowak became the chief planning and strategy officer for the UAB Health System, Dr. Mary Nash was named the hospital’s third executive director in August 2002. Nash joined the UAB staff in 1994 and had previously served as University Hospital’s senior associate executive director and as chief operating officer. With her appointment, Nash became the first female and the first nurse to be named director of the hospital. She remained in the position until her resignation in September 2004. CEO of the UAB Health System, David Hoidal, announced at the time that he would “evaluate the administrative structure of the hospital and how it fits within the health system” before recruiting a replacement.
Soon afterward, Dr. Michael R. Waldrum was named the new Chief Operating Officer (COO) – a new title replacing Executive Director – with the responsibility for the day-to-day operations of University Hospital; his appointment was effective on the first of December 2004. Dr. Waldrum, who held a faculty appointment in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, had served as the hospital’s chief information officer since 1999 and had led the hospital to a ranking as one of the “100 Most Wired” hospitals or health systems in Hospitals and Health Networks Magazine. Waldrum graduated from the University of Alabama School of Medicine and the UAB School of Public Health. At the time of the appointment, Hoidal noted that Waldrum “brings to the position the perspective of a physician, as well as an administrator.” During his tenure at the hospital, Dr. Waldrum's title was expanded to that of the CEO (Chief Executive Officer).
When Waldrum left UAB in January 2013, his position at UAB as CEO of University Hospital was essentially eliminated. In lieu of a one CEO or hospital director, the UAB Health System split the administrative duties amongst several high-level administrative professionals, all of whom reported to the COO of the UAB Health System and/ or to the CEO of the UAB Health System. The healthcare environment changed drastically in the United States during this period with the implementation of new Federal requirements and rules, and as a result, the UAB Health System and the School of Medicine integrated much more closely than had been the case in prior decades. The UAB Health System, through its component University Hospital, also took over daily management and control of The Kirklin Clinic, the major outpatient clinic that had previously operated mostly separate from the University by the independent corporation, the University of Alabama Health Services Foundation (UAHSF).
University Hospital no longer operates under one administrative professional who oversees all aspects of the vast hospital complex. These duties are now held by various individuals within the UAB Health System.

History:
The University of Alabama at Birmingham became an independent entity within the new three-campus University of Alabama System in 1969. Previously, it had functioned as a branch campus of the Tuscaloosa-based University of Alabama. The remarkable growth of programs in Birmingham and the swift evolution of the campus from two educational centers into an integrated, urban university was phenomenal. The development of the Office of President of UAB, with its roots as a vice presidential office of The University of Alabama, reflects the growth and evolution of the campus.
In 1966, President Frank Rose and The University of Alabama Board of Trustees elevated the Birmingham Extension Center, which had been in operation since 1936, to the degree-granting College of General Studies and joined it with the University's Medical Center to form the "University of Alabama in Birmingham." The Medical Center had been founded in Birmingham in 1945, when the Medical College of Alabama was moved from Tuscaloosa and changed from a two-year, basic-science program to a four-year, degree-granting program. Although the two Birmingham units were given the UAB designation in 1966, they still functioned as a component of The University of Alabama.
The Office of Vice President for Birmingham Affairs eventually evolved into the Office of the President of an independent UAB. In 1966 Dr. Joseph F. Volker, vice president for Health Affairs, was given administrative responsibilities over the campus and was elevated to vice president for Birmingham Affairs. After this administrative change, the dean of the College of General Studies reported to Dr. Volker. After 1968, the vice president for Health Affairs and the new vice president for Fiscal Affairs also reported to him. In 1968, Dr. Volker's title changed to executive vice president, and in December 1968 as his administrative responsibilities increased with the growing autonomy of the University of Alabama in Birmingham. He turned over the duties of vice president for Health Affairs to Dr. S. Richardson Hill, Jr. As vice president for Birmingham Affairs and later as executive vice president, Dr. Volker reported directly to the president of The University of Alabama.
On June 16, 1969, Alabama Governor Albert P. Brewer announced the formation of the autonomous University of Alabama in Birmingham (UAB), one of three independent institutions within the new University of Alabama System. At the same time, Governor Brewer announced that Dr. Joseph F. Volker, who had served as the chief administrative officer in Birmingham since 1966, would become the first president of UAB. The new president reported directly to the Board of Trustees, composed of two members from each congressional district in Alabama, and had responsibility for the university's budgets, space, and academic programs. At the time of its independence in 1969, UAB consisted of the six health-related schools, the hospital, and the College of General Studies, and it was the only degree-granting, public four-year institution in the City of Birmingham. Thus, in a relatively brief period of time, a disparate set of programs evolved into a comprehensive, urban university.
In 1984, in an attempt to better distinguish the university from the two other autonomous campuses within the System, the Board of Trustees approved a change of the designation of the University of Alabama in Birmingham to that of the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). Since 1969, UAB has experienced tremendous growth in enrollment, programs offered, and numbers of faculty. By 1994, when the university celebrated its 25th anniversary, UAB was a comprehensive urban institution offering education to a wide range of students at the baccalaureate, doctoral, and professional levels. Programs are currently offered through its seven health-related and six academic schools and through the graduate school. The university also offers numerous credit and non-credit courses through special programming targeted for the non-traditional student. UAB has a student enrollment of over 16,200 and is the largest employer in Birmingham. Through the Academic Health Center, UAB is also a major provider of primary, secondary, and tertiary health care through its hospitals, research centers and institutes, and neighborhood health clinics. The Office of President continues to function as the highest administrative office of UAB.
Dr. Volker remained president of UAB until 1976 when he was named as the first chancellor of the three-campus University of Alabama System. Vice President of University College George W. Campbell served as acting president while a search was undertaken for Dr. Volker's successor. The Board of Trustees soon chose Vice President for Health Affairs S. Richardson Hill, Jr., as UAB's second president. Dr. Hill served as president from February 1, 1977, until March 1987, the longest presidential tenure in the history of the university. Hill, who took a sabbatical from his presidential duties during his final year, was succeeded by Vice President for Health Affairs Charles McCallum, Jr. Dr. McCallum served first as acting president from September 1, 1986, until April 2, 1987, when he became the third president of UAB. President McCallum retired effective September 30, 1993, and was succeeded by the chair of the Department of Medicine Dr. J. Claude Bennett. Dr. Bennett served as the university's fourth president from October 1, 1993, until his resignation on December 31, 1996. The University of Alabama Board of Trustees then appointed Mr. Paul Hardin, III, chancellor emeritus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, as interim president during the national search for Bennett's replacement.
On July 17, 1997, Dr. W. Ann Reynolds, chancellor of the City University of New York, was named president-elect after her selection by the Board of Trustees. When Dr. Reynolds assumed office as fifth president of the University of Alabama at Birmingham on September 15, 1997, she became the first female president in the history of the three-campus University of Alabama System and the first president of UAB without a previous association to the university. Reynolds served as president until May 2002 and was succeeded by University of Alabama System Chancellor Dr. Malcolm Portera, who served as interim president during the summer of 2002. On September 1, 2002, Dr. Carol Z. Garrison became UAB's sixth president. Dr. Garrison was once a nurse in University Hospital, obtained a master's degree in nursing from UAB in 1976, and taught in the School of Nursing until 1978. After a ten-year tenure, Dr. Garrison stepped down as UAB president on August 16, 2012. The Chancellor and the Board of Trustees appointed Dr. Richard B. Marchase as interim UAB President effective August 21, 2012. Dr. Marchase was UAB's vice president for Research and Economic Development and had previously served as chair of the UAB Department of Cell Biology. He joined the UAB faculty in 1986.
On February 8, 2013, the Board of Trustees selected Dr. Ray L. Watts as the seventh president of UAB. Dr. Watts obtained an undergraduate degree from the UAB School of Engineering and his medical degree from Washington University. Watts was the first president of UAB to have obtained an undergraduate degree from the university. Dr. Watts returned to UAB in 2003 and later served as chair of the UAB Department of Neurology. At the time of his selection as president, he was UAB's Senior Vice President and dean of the School of Medicine.
