Kirklin Clinic

The Kirklin Clinic is the primary adult outpatient clinic of the medical staff of UAB Hospital, and of the faculty of the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Heersink School of Medicine.

It was named for the School of Medicine's pioneering cardiac surgeon John W. Kirklin, who was noted for bringing the heart-lung machine into practical use in heart surgery.

Opened in July 1992, the Clinic is owned and operated by the nonprofit University of Alabama Health Services Foundation.

During 2016 and 2017, the Kirklin Clinic underwent a $10 million project to expand its clinical space by 64,000 sq ft.[2] Betsky, Aaron (1992).
