Quiet Spaces
The Healing Garden is located on the 5th floor of
the North Pavilion and offers a peaceful retreat for
families and guests. The Limbaugh Garden in front of
the Women & Infants Center is a beautiful space for
relaxation.
Keeping in Touch
Staying in touch with loved ones and friends while
managing a health care challenge can be difficult. But
staying connected is a crucial component to getting
and staying well—for both patients and caregivers.
We encourage you to use Facebook, CaringBridge,
CarePages, or blogs to keep others informed, share
photos, and collect supporting messages for the
patient from loved ones and friends.
Smoking Areas
For the health of patients, staff, and guests, smoking
is strongly discouraged on the UAB Hospital campus.
Please contact a staff member for directions to the
nearest designated smoking area. If you are a patient
or traveling to the smoking areas with a patient,
please see a member of your care team before you
leave the nursing unit.
Donating Blood
In partnership with the American Red Cross, the
blood donor room offers the opportunity to donate
blood in a comfortable environment. Free parking
validation is offered to donors. To schedule an
appointment, please call (205) 996-9851 or visit
redcrossblood.org/locations/uab-donor-center. An
appointment is not required to donate blood.
Nursing Moms
Lactation Services are located on the 6th floor of the
UAB Women & Infants Center in Room 6110. The area

24 hours a day, 7 days a week for nursing mothers.
If you would like to use our pumps, you will need to
