- This article is about the development of the medical center prior to 1969, when it became the UAB Medical Center.
The University of Alabama Medical Center was a four-block district in Birmingham's Southside which grew around the historic Hillman Hospital and Jefferson Tower, which had been combined as Jefferson-Hillman Hospital and taken over by the Medical College of Alabama on June 4, 1945.
The Birmingham VA Medical Center was constructed in 1952 and the Jefferson County Board of Health and Crippled Children's Clinic later moved into the district.
They were renamed University Hospital and Hillman Clinic in 1955.
