Ascension St. Vincent’s Birmingham, a 409-bed acute care center, specializes in a variety of medical services. Cardiac care is chief among its priorities, as the first hospital in Alabama to install state-of-the-art cath lab imaging technology with reduced radiation doses and increased flexibility for patient positioning. It also recently invested in an EggNest device, which greatly improves the safety of staff and providers by reducing scatter radiation. The hospital received the BCBS Blue Distinction for cardiology care in 2023.
