Children's is the only health system in Alabama dedicated solely to the care and treatment of children. It is a private, not-for-profit medical center that serves as the teaching hospital for the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) pediatric medicine, surgery, psychiatry, research and residency programs.

UT Southwestern Medical Center faculty see and care for young patients at Children's Health℠, our primary pediatrics clinical partner. The seventh-largest pediatrics hospital in the nation, Children's Health is a multispecialty inpatient and outpatient facility that is equipped with state-of-the-art resources.

Child health is a state of physical, mental, intellectual, social and emotional well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Healthy children live in families, environments, and communities that provide them with the opportunity to reach their fullest developmental potential.
