About Birmingham – "The Magic City"
Tucked-in the foothills south of the Appalachian Mountains, Birmingham is the largest city in the state of Alabama. Hints of old-fashioned southern charm still exist amidst this vibrant modern day city. Birmingham has the appeal of a small town with all the amenities of a large city. Various groups have dubbed Birmingham as one of the best U.S cities to live.
This once industrial town from the manufacturing age has become a mecca for medical research, banking and service-based industry.
UAB School of Medicine is ranked nationally for all facets of medicine, and BioHorizons is a proud sponsor of the
UAB School of Dentistry.
With an abundance of natural beauty, a renowned culinary scene, mild winters and a low cost-of-living, Birmingham is a wonderful place to call "home".
