University Medical Center

The University Medical Center provides a walk-in clinic for faculty, staff and their families who are covered under The University of Alabama medical insurance (Blue Cross/Blue Shield). The co-payment is reduced to $20.00 and is required at the time of service.

The University Faculty-Staff Clinic is located near the main entrance of the University Medical Center. The Faculty/Staff Clinic was specifically designed to provide fast, cost-effective urgent care for non-emergency medical problems. The Faculty/Staff Clinic is devoted exclusively to the care of University employees and their dependents. No appointments are taken or needed; however, you can call ahead (205-348-4696) when you need to find out how many patients are currently waiting and plan your visit accordingly.

The clinic is staffed by Board Certified Nurse Practitioners who treat urgent non-emergency complaints such as minor injuries, respiratory complaints, fever, coughs, sore throats and minor eye infections. Lab and radiology services are available in-house in most cases. Physician consultations are readily available when needed.

Angela Hammond, CRNP, is the full-time nurse practitioner at the Faculty-Staff Clinic. She is a graduate of the UAB Family Nurse Practitioner Program and has 12 years experience in family practice. Beth Fuller, CRNP, is also on staff in the Faculty-Staff Clinic.
