UAB Health System Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

We exist to make a positive difference for as many people as possible and are committed to improving the health and lives of all we serve. UAB Health System is conducting a comprehensive assessment of implications of state and federal laws that address Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs and resources. Alabama Act 2024-34 (i.e., SB 129), for example, goes into effect on Oct. 1, 2024. While such laws offer protections for gender- and race-based research and healthcare (e.g., health equity research, ovarian cancer clinical trials limited to female participants, etc.), we will make any necessary changes to ensure compliance with applicable laws while continuing to promote our mission to serve and improve the lives of all people.
