The UAB Department of Family and Community Medicine is partnering with the UAB Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology to provide prenatal services at UAB Hospital-Highlands.

The maternal death rate in the United States is higher than in any developed country in the world, and Alabama ranks third in the US. Among the causes for maternal mortality are inadequate access to pregnancy prevention and pre-conception care, lack of timely prenatal care, and under-addressed cardiovascular disease and diabetes, as well as patients not living near a provider.

Patients can make an appointment with a provider by calling 205-934-9700.
