St. Vincent's St. Clair is located in Pell City, Alabama approximately 40 minutes from downtown Birmingham and 90 minutes for Atlanta along 1-20.  Forecasts are for continued economic expansion equal to or exceeding the last seven years with plans for a new hospital and medical complex to be completed by 2011. St. Vincent’s St. Clair is located close to Logan Martin Lake and has traditionally been considered to be a lake retirement community.  Recent years however, have brought the emergence of Honda Automotive manufacturing in Lincoln nearby.  Associated and non-associated light manufacturing industry has fueled significant growth to the local population.  The average age while still above the Alabama average age at 38, is dropping due to influx of younger families to the county due to the economic growth locally. 

 

 St. Vincent’s Blount is a pastoral setting in the foothills of the Appalachians.  It is also 40 minutes from downtown Birmingham.  Many families are moving to this area for the schools systems and great cost of living.

 

Physicians will  deliver at St. Vincent's East which has 1,084 births per year.  Their women’s center houses private labor and delivery suites, pre- and post-partum suites and additional service areas.  There are NICU beds, a c-section suite, and doctor sleeping lounges.
