Ascension St Vincent's Health System

Ascension St Vincent's Birmingham, formerly the St Vincent's Health System is network of hospitals in the Birmingham area owned by Ascension Health, a national non-profit Catholic hospital network based in St Louis, Missouri.

St Vincent's Birmingham was established in 1898 as a mission of the Daughters of Charity.

In July 2007, St Vincent's merged with Eastern Health System. Eastern's three hospitals were re-named with the St Vincent's moniker.

In June 2009 the system moved its corporate offices from space it was subleasing at the Galleria Tower to newly-available office spaces on its hospital campuses. On July 1, 2020 Ascension St Vincent's formally entered into a strategic alliance with the UAB Health System.
