Doctors gave Jacob Smith a 100% chance of an unfavorable outcome.
Today, he's walking, talking and continuing to pursue the passion that helped fuel his recovery.
After a devastating traumatic brain injury in 2024, Jacob's family, care team and therapists at UAB and Spain Rehabilitation Center refused to give up. Neither did he.
"My motto throughout recovery has been that I'm all gas, no brakes until I get better."
Two years later, Jacob's recovery continues, one step, one therapy session and one victory at a time.

“Because UAB Eye Care takes care of vision in our student-athletes, I got to meet Trey when he first got to UAB,” Weise said. “I adored him immediately. I learned quickly that he is very dedicated to family, to giving back to his community and to his faith.”
Did you know? Before stepping onto an NBA court with the New York Knicks, Trey Jemison III’s eye care journey began at UAB.

Three letters: so many stories.
You'll always have a home at UAB. When Sybil Rodgers came to UAB as a nurse, she was looking for an opportunity for her and her son, Cameron Rodgers-Johnson.
Years later, Cameron found his own place at UAB, forging his own path and creating connections that last beyond his time at UAB.
Family, connection, and community, that's what makes the Blazer Family stronger. That's what Blazer Bonds are made of.

A future without stethoscopes? It may sound like science fiction, but researchers at UAB are developing wearable technology capable of detecting the body’s tiniest acoustic signals with incredible sensitivity. Imagine a world where monitoring your health feels more like wearing a second skin.

Whether it’s rocking a newborn, helping a patient feel less alone, or making sure someone gets to an appointment safely, small acts of kindness have a very real impact.
UAB Hospital is currently seeking volunteers for several programs, including Helping Hands in the NICU, the Hospital Elder Life Program, and the Golf Cart Team, which helps patients navigate campus with ease and comfort.
And for UAB employees, getting started is often even easier, since many onboarding requirements may already be met through employment.
If you’ve been looking for a meaningful way to give back, this could be it.
