 St. Vincent's Birmingham has become known as "Birmingham's
Birthplace." It's a distinction earned from the many lives that
have come into the world inside these doors, beginning with the
first hospital birth in 1909. Since that time, thousands of babies
have been born at St. Vincent's Birmingham including many of Birmingham's prominent
citizens. All share the pride of claiming St. Vincent's as their
hospital.
In recognition of St. Vincent's special babies, the
hospital has created a unique way to remember them for generations
to come - a walkway constructed of commemorative Birth Stone bricks,
located in the Centennial Garden.
The Centennial Garden and walkway were developed in 1998 in recognition
of St. Vincent's first one hundred years of caring for the Birmingham
community. Located outside the Bruno Conference Center, the Centennial
Garden offers quiet surroundings allowing visitors time for peaceful
reflection.
If you or a loved one were born at St. Vincent's, you can become
part of this walk. Birth Stones can be given at any time.
For a $100 donation to the St. Vincent's Foundation, your Birth
Stone, personalized with the name and date of birth of the person
to be recognized, will become a permanent part of the Centennial
Garden.
To receive an order form or to request additional information,
